About

Tofu agadashi is a classic Japanese appetizer of silken tofu, deep-fried and served in a smooth dashi broth with bonito shavings on top. Here it is reinvented with firm organic tofu. For a truly exclusive version I highly recommend using fresh wasabi, which can be ordered online. The plants are also available and easy to grow in a pot, however you will be in for the long haul as it takes at least two years for the plant to mature.
