Here is a recipe for an authentic Tofu steak from the best seller recipe
magazine in Japan. Enjoy!
1. 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.)
2. Cut off the stem of mushrooms and slice them. divide Enoki into small
bunch. Cut green onions in 2 inches long. Finely chop garlic.
3. 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.
4. 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.
