Instructions
1. Trim the ends off the shimeji and separate the clusters. Cut the enoki mushrooms in half. Drain the tofu lightly and place it on a serving plate.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shimeji and enoki mushrooms, and sauté until softened and lightly browned.
3. Pour in the water, mentsuyu, and mirin. Bring to a gentle simmer. If using grated ginger, add it at this stage.
4. Mix the potato starch with the water to make a slurry. Reduce the heat and slowly stir it into the pan until the sauce thickens.
5. Pour the mushroom ankake sauce over the tofu and garnish with chopped green onions.
⭐ Tips
* Warm the tofu before serving.
* Let the mushrooms brown well for deeper flavor.
