📋 Ingredients

Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

• Tofu: We use firm tofu (momen) and press it to remove extra water for at least 30 mins. Suppose you don't know how, please check: How to press tofu.
• Mushrooms: You can choose any mushrooms you like. I use shimeji, shiitake, and eringi in this recipe.
• Teriyaki sauce: Mirin and soy sauce. Some recipes add sake and sugar, but I make it simple in this recipe by using mirin and soy sauce. If you prefer sweet teriyaki sauce, feel free to add sugar.
• Flour: Any flour is ok. You can use corn starch or potato starch also.
• Salt and pepper
• Scallion for topping
