Great recipe for Just Tofu Homemade Aburaage. I really, really wanted to make the "takoyaki-sized inari sushi" that I saw at a department store. If you don't do it right, they turn out like a tough sponge. I've been down that road before.

Steps to make Homemade Aburaage:

1. Cut the firm tofu into 1 cm thick slices. Wrap them with a thick towel and leave overnight.
2. I usually place the tofu in 2 lines on the edge of the towel and then roll up the rest of the towel.
3. Add the tofu to the oil while it is still lukewarm.
4. 5 minutes later…Small bubbles will form on the surface of the tofu. Turn the heat down to low. Constantly flip over the tofu.
5. 10 minutes later…On low heat, patiently flip over the tofu so that they plump up. Then raise the heat to high.
6. They will plump up a little bit more when on high heat. Afterwards, just continue frying until golden brown.
7. This is what they look like just before they are removed from the oil. If you patiently cook on low heat from the beginning, they should take about 15 minutes.
8. They're done.
9. If you just let them be after they're removed from the oil, they will harden. If possible, wrapin plastic wrap and microwave before using them to make them softer.

If you don't do it right, they turn out like a tough sponge. I've been down that road before. For best results, use pure and firm tofu. These puffy pouches of deep-fried tofu are so good braised in a dashi -sugar- shoyu -sake mixture. Serve prepared aburaage as a side dish, stuffed with seasoned rice, or in bowls of hot udon.
