# How to Make Home-Style Japanese Tofu
Home-style Japanese tofu features a golden, crispy crust enveloping the delicate interior of the tofu. A quick three-minute stir-fry makes it the star of the table, delivering a crunchy, tender, savory, and aromatic flavor that delights the taste buds.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Japanese tofu (egg tofu)
- Green bell pepper
- Carrot
- Ham sausage (optional)
- Dried black fungus (optional)
- Onion (optional)
- Cornstarch
- Garlic
- Oil (for frying the tofu; enough to submerge most of it)
- Light soy sauce 8 ml
- Oyster sauce 15 ml
- Salt (for savory flavor)
- Chicken bouillon powder (for savory flavor, optional)
- Ketchup (for sweet and sour flavor)
- White sugar (for sweet and sour flavor)
## Quantities
Determine how many servings you plan to make before each preparation. One serving is sufficient for 2 people.
Per serving:
- Japanese tofu 300 g (approximately 3 pieces)
- Green bell pepper 120 g (1 medium-sized piece)
- Carrot 50 g
- Ham sausage 50 g (approximately 1 stick)
- Dried black fungus 30 g (approximately 10 g of dried fungus when soaked)
- Cornstarch 80 g
- Onion 30 g
- Garlic 10 g (approximately 2 cloves)
- Oil 160-165 ml
- Light soy sauce 8 ml
- Oyster sauce 15 ml
- Salt 2 g (if adding chicken bouillon powder, use only 0.5 g or omit)
- Chicken bouillon powder 3 g
- White sugar 10 g
- Ketchup 15 ml
## Instructions
- Slice the carrot, cut the green bell pepper into thin pieces, and mince the green onion and garlic.
- Open the package of Japanese tofu and slice it into cylinders approximately 1 cm thick.
- Place the cornstarch on a flat plate, ready for coating the tofu.
- Gently place the tofu pieces onto the cornstarch, coating the top, bottom, and sides. Be careful not to coat them too thickly.
- Heat 150 ml of oil in a skillet. The oil should be enough to submerge most of the tofu. Fry until the edges turn golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
- Once both sides are fried, remove the tofu and set aside on a clean plate.
- Pour 10-15 ml of oil into a wok, add the green onion and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the green bell pepper, carrot, ham sausage, and black fungus.
- Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt, chicken bouillon powder, white sugar, and ketchup.
- Stir-fry gently until the colors are evenly distributed.
## Additional Notes
- Do not let the fried tofu sit for too long; prepare the other ingredients in advance.
