INSTRUCTIONS

Here is a recipe for an authentic Tofu steak from the best seller
recipe magazine in Japan. Enjoy!  Place a clean cloth towel in a
shallow  plate (something like brownie  pan would be good) and put Tofu
on it for 30 minutes to drain water.  Wipe the surface of Tofu with
paper towels and sprinkle some salt (to  make the surface of the steak
crisp and brown when done.) Cut off the  stem of mushrooms and slice
them. divide Enoki into small bunch. Cut  green onions in 2 inches
long. Finely chop garlic. Put 2 Tbsp of  vegetable oil in a frying pan
and fry both sides of Tofu in  medium-high heat, until Tofu turn golden
brown. Put them on serving  plates. Wipe the frying pan with paper
towel and add another 2 Tbsp  of vegetable oil. Saute garlic and the
mushrooms in medium heat  quickly. Add Sake, soy sauce and Dashi stock
and bring it to boil.  Add green onions. Dissolve cornstarch in 2Tbsp
of water and add to  the sauce. Stir from the bottom of the pan and
pour it over the  cooked Tofu. Serve while hot! (4 servings)  NOTE:
Dashi is the basic soup stock used in most Japanese dishes such  as
Miso Soup and Udon. You can get the powered stock called  'Hondashi' in
any Oriental stores. Substitute it with chicken stock  if you like.
Shiitake and Enoki are very expensive in the U.S., but  they are very
flavorful. Try not to cook them too long.  KMINALAF@AOL.COM  (K MINA
