Steps

1
Drain the tofu well and cut it into large cubes. Coat it gently in potato starch.
2
Heat the oil to 175°C / 350°F and fry the tofu for 2 to 3 minutes, until the outside is pale golden and lightly crisp.
3
Warm the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin without boiling aggressively so the broth stays clear and clean-tasting.
4
Arrange the tofu in bowls, spoon some broth around it, then top with grated daikon, ginger, and scallions.
