sauce:
- 1 egg

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- a little salt
- 1 cup bonito soup stock
- 2 teaspoons potato starch (katakuriko)

step 1:
Wrap the tofu in a paper towel. Put it on a tray. Place a folded kitchen towel under one side of the tray and lean the tray on it. Let sit for about 60 minutes.
step 2:
Cut the tofu block in half lengthwise. Place knife halfway down the side of the block and slice across. Then cut across into thirds to make 12 bite-size pieces.
step 3:
Place the potato starch in a pan (or plate) and coat every surface of each tofu piece.
step 4:
Heat the oil to 340 °F and deep-fry the tofu pieces for a couple of minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a rack.
step 5:
Make the sauce. Beat the egg. Pour the bonito soup stock in a pan and bring to a boil. Add the sugar, salt and soy sauce.
step 6:
Dissolve the potato starch in the water. Add the dissolved potato starch to the pan. Stir a few times. Add the beaten egg. Mix a couple of times. Remove from the heat.
step 7:
Place in a dish and pour the sauce over the top.
