- Grate the daikon and ginger and finely chop the spring onion
- Mix the dashi, mirin, shoyu and caster sugar in a small pan
over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

- Heat the oil in a wok or deep fryer and, when hot, with a
slotted spoon slowly lower in the tofu
- When the tofu have turned golden, remove and place on
kitchen paper over a drainer to allow any excess fat to be
absorbed
- Serve in separate bowls with the sauce poured over and
garnish with the grated daikon, grated ginger and finely
chopped spring onion to taste
