Tofu With Garlic Mirin Sauce image

I came up with this recipe as a result of becoming vegan, and no longer being able to eat mirin chicken with my Japanese friends. The glaze takes on a dark brown color, and coats the fried tofu very nicely. You may want to make extra sauce to serve over rice.

This recipe was a waste of time. The tofu was rubbery and the sauce was bland.

The tofu was not cooked through. I had to put it back in the pan for another 5 minutes.

This dish was way too salty. I think I used too much soy sauce.

The tofu was a bit too soft for my liking, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again with a different type of tofu.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger to the sauce and it was much better.

I'm not usually a big fan of tofu, but this recipe changed my mind. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.
