Courgette Caterpillar

Tonight's dinner: Agedashi tofu and courgette omelette.

Recipe for agedashi tofu:

• Take some silken tofu, and drain on kitchen towels for 20 min.
• Heat an inch or two of corn oil in a wok/pan until just before it starts to smoke.
• Coat the tofu cubes in some potato flour, and place carefully in the oil. Keep turning the tofu cubes so they're just lightly crispy all over (almost golden brown).
• Transfer to small bowls, and spoon over the sauce that has been brought up to the boil:
  1/2 cup dashi stock
  1 tbsp soya sauce
  1 tbsp sake
  1 tsp mirin

Eat ASAP, as it gets soggy very quickly. It's scrummy!

Ingredients	Agedashi tofu	Eggy eggs	Funny omelette

And for dessert: mango sorbet from M&S, and coconut and lemongrass pannacotta from Stichill Jerseys (bought at the almost fortnightly Edinburgh Farmers' Market; 1st and 3rd Sat of every month).
