Servings: 3

 

Ingredients:

Cornstarch, for coating

3 tablespoons frozen or fresh shelled edamame beans

2 teaspoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger

3 tablespoons finely chopped green onion

3 tablespoons moromi miso, or miso

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (omit if the miso you choose is salty)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 pound firm tofu, drained

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Equipment:

plastic wrap

microwave

bowl

food processor

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Sauté the green onion and ginger in the sesame oil for a couple of minutes, then remove from the heat. Boil the edamame in just enough water to cover for about 5 minutes, until tender yet still firm. Alternatively, put the edamame on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 30 seconds. 2 Crumble the tofu in a bowl. Add the sautéed green onion and ginger, miso, and salt. Mix together thoroughly using your impeccably clean hands. Alternatively, you can mix this in a food processor, pulsing to combine. When everything is combined to a smooth paste, mix in the edamame. 3 Divide the tofu mixture into nine portions and form round- or oval-shaped flattened nuggets. Coat in cornstarch. Heat 1 inch (2.5cm) of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a small piece of the cornstarch-coated tofu dropped into the oil turns brown in a few seconds. Fry the nuggets in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, until browned on both sides. Drain well and cool before packing. 4 Note:These nuggets can be frozen quite successfully. The texture will change a little, but they will still be good. Cold nuggets can be pan-fried in a dry nonstick frying pan over medium heat until crispy on the outside and heated through, or gently poached in dashi stock for a softer texture. They are also good in soup.

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
