I do not own these recipes I just found them online, just as close as I can with them. Just want to share may be slightly different from the show. Sorry.
Makes 1 serving (main dish) or 2 servings (side dish)
Ingredients:
For the Tofu Steak:
1 block of medium or firm tofu Olive oil Garnishes from Isekai Shokudou:
Finely grated daikon (such as on a microplane) Ponzu sauce 5-10 shiso leaves, cut in a chiffonade (in very thin ribbons) For the umeboshi sauce:
1 large umeboshi, finely minced (about 1 tbsp) 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp mirin 1 tbsp sake 1 tbsp water 1/4 tsp granulated konbu dashi or fish-based dashi Directions:
For the tofu steak:
Remove tofu from its package and drain the excess water. Place on a plate and weigh the tofu down using a dinner plate or something similar. Let the water drain from the tofu for 30 – 45 minutes. Drain any water that has gathered on the plate as needed throughout this process. Remove the weight pressing down the tofu and drain the last of any excess water that has gathered on the plate. Pat dry with a paper towel. Preheat olive oil in a frying pan set over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, gently add the tofu and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Turn the tofu over, and brown the second side for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and place on a serving plate. For the umeboshi sauce:
Place all the sauce ingredients in a pan and heat on medium high until simmering. Cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve. To serve:
Serve the tofu steak topped with grated daikon (try to get just the daikon pulp and not all the liquid) and thinly sliced shiso. Drizzle with ponzu sauce, just like in the anime!
Alternatively, serve topped with umeboshi sauce and shiso.
This dish goes great with a bowl of rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
