[Ingredients]
3 pieces deep-fried tofu (tau pok)
400ml dashi stock
3tbsp sugar
4-5tbsp soy sauce
2tbsp sake
2tbsp mirin
[Steps]
Roll a chopstick over each piece of tofu to make it easier to open. Cut each one in half and then gently open it to make a pouch. Place in a bamboo strainer or colander and pour boiling water over both sides to remove oil.
Heat the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and add the tofu pouches. Simmer over low heat until most of the liquid has reduced, about 15-20mins. Remove from heat and drain in a bamboo strainer or colander.
