Oroshi Tofu Steak
Saturday, December 12, 2009 - 8:02 pm English | 日本語
There’re certain things that remind me that I’m Japanese, and of course I’m talking about food. We get to enjoy various cuisines in Sydney so easily, and that often gets all mixed up – both in good and bad ways. The ingredients I used for this dish was full of YOUKOSO HARAKIRI KONICHIWA JAPAN all the way. Shiso leave, Freshly squeezed Yuzu, and Ponzu sauce. I always recognise these as authentic Japanese ingredients.
Daikon Oroshi Tofu Steak that is. (Daikon Oroshi = Grated white raddish)
Blend firm tofu, Hanpen, egg white, potato starch in a food processor. Hanpen gives the tofu mixture more of meat like texture. (You can omit this if not available.) Add mirin, dashi, soy sauce, caramelised chopped onion and combine well. Shape as you like and pan-fry over low heat until browned. Garnished with sliced lettuce, daikon oroshi and sliced green onion on a shisho leave. Drizzle wasabi infused oil a bit.
Now pour home made Ponzu sauce over it. oh yes.
Squeezed Yuzu juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar. That’s it! Press down the dikon oroshi and dig in!
Well it’s not really a meat steak but tofu burger, only thicker. The texture is quite dense and similar to hamburger as you could probably see what I’m trying to say below.
We are having quite hot nights these days. This is a pretty healthy alternative to hamburger steak on a hot dinner time – less cholesterol, refreshing & fragrant flavour with Yuzu. *burp*

Nice fusion action going on here hee hee but I think you should add a side dish of a nice fat slab of wagyu steak
(and a nice cool Asahi)

Looks delicious, I only saw shisho leaves for the first time in Sydney last week. Now I have a good way to use them!

Yas that look so goooood! And healthy too, that’s always a bonus. That means I can stuff my face right???
Now that’s some tasty-looking tofu! Love the taste of yuzu. Must source yuzu juice asap.
Wow, that tofu looks amazing! Haha, anything Japanese just looks great and usually healthy too!
Didn’t get a chance to properly say hi yesterday except when I passed you guys the ‘siu yuk’ (roast pork)
But hi! New to the blogging scene but loving your blog!
よろしくお願いします!
Did I get the translation right for YOUKOSO HARAKIRI KONICHIWA JAPAN – welcome disembowlment, hello Japan?
Looks like a nice, healthy dish. Part of a health kick or just your usually cooking thing?
ohhh– looks soooo yummy!!
Is that SHISO & YUZU juice from me one? GOOD IDEAS!!
BTW My custmer love your blog too!
That steak looks really good – a healthy alternative to meat especially after all that holiday eating I intend to do!
The tofu looks nicely dense- without reading any of the content, you could have fooled my buds! Are you preparing for the “xmas feast” to come? hehe
Ooh this looks yum, perfect for hot nights too! Healthy dinner = more dessert hehe!! What did you have for dessert?
Damn that looks so good Yas! I’m going to keep an eye out for Hanpen now
this is what i’m talking about! looks amazing and i’m sure it tastes wicked! love anything with daikon actually. i heart the stuff. once, got too over-excited about grating it and my whole hand ended up burning up all through dinner. massive mistake. you’ve got a cool blog. i’ll be back

Your food looks fantastic and the photos as well. It was nice reading your blog. I was glad I stumbled upon it.
@FFIchiban
Oh yes, anything wagyu or deep-fried make everything betterrr!
@Lily
大根おろし＆シソのコンビネーションって勝てるものなし、って感じだよねー。豆腐ハンバーグ、トマコも食べれるし、オススメ！
@JT
Thanks! I love Shiso leaves, but too bad it’s rather rare to come across!
@Steph
Thanks Steph! Oh yeah, going healthy means you get more room reserved for something else! LOL
@Helen
Thanks Helen! Real Yuzu is really hard to find isn’t it?! Anegawa in Artarmon occasionally has it in stock!
@AY
A dietitian friend of mine has once told me that I eat rather healthy, but simply eat too much… lol “but it’s Tofu, it’s good for me, right?”
こちらこそよろしく！
@Simon
Haha yes, translated *literally* LOL
I do cook healthy food regularly, I just eat too much !
@Tiby
Shiso from you, and Yuzu is actually 生ゆず！
@Trissa
Thanks! yup, definitely! Though I’m intended to stuff myself with holiday feast with meat and other goodness
@Adrian
Hehe the texture is very much like minced meat actually! My xmas feast preparation was “empty my stomach beforehand.” Mission completed.
@Betty
Extra scoop of ice cream would hurt, right? right? LOL
@Lorraine
I love the soft texture of it, it’s pretty yummy eating after lightly grilled!
Thanks Lorraine! You can find Hanpen at Tokyo mart
@Diva
Thanks! I love daikon too! it’s such a versatile ingredient isn’t it? Left over daikon ended up being a daikon salad!
@Joanie
Ahh thanks Joanie! I’ve got to manage to blog more often!
