Method

Prep

10min

Cook

10min

Wrap the tofu with kitchen paper and put on a plate. Put a flat plate on top with a weight and keep for 10 minutes, then drain the excess water.

Cut into half across then into bitesize chunks. Dredge with potato starch. Put the oil in a frying pan on medium heat and fry the tofu.

Cook until nicely browned on both sides then add the butter.

Add the soy sauce, mirin sake and sugar and allow the alcohol to evaporate. Reduce the sauce.

Transfer to a serving dish and pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with finely sliced spring onions before serving.

I used this House Foods medium firm tofu, it works really well.

Tips & Note

Use the same amount of the 4 basic seasonings, but adjust to your own taste. Add 1 tsp Chinese chilli bean sauce for a spicy teriyaki version.

Osso Buco

Osso Buco, which translates as “hole of bone” is pure meaty awesomeness. Placing on a bed of risotto or polenta pays tribute to Osso Buco’s roots and takes this Italian comfort food to another level. Traditionally, Osso Buco is made with veal but see how I make Beef Osso Buco, a carnivorous wreath.

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs, Sous Vide

It can be difficult to make a perfect hard-boiled egg that has a creamy yolk and a tender white. Overcooking a hard-boiled egg, which is easy to do, results in a chalky and sometimes greenish yolk, a rubbery egg white and a slightly sulfuric taste. In this video I demonstrate how I use my sous vide to get the perfect hard-boiled egg.
