Fukui Simmered Atsuage

Briefly dip the tofu in boiling water to remove excess oil. Make a slit in the middle of each piece to help it absorb the broth.

In a pan large enough for the tofu, bring the dashi to a simmer and add the sake, mirin and soy sauce. Add the tofu, cover with a drop lid and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.

Add a little ginger juice just before turning off the heat. Serve the tofu whole with grated ginger.
