Step:
Place Tofu on slightly tilted cutting board or plate with a flat-base dish or board as a weight on top, and set aside for 1/2 hour so that excess water would be removed.
Prepare Mushrooms. Slice Shiitake, or tear Shimeji and cut Enoki into smaller pieces.
Place Dashi, Soy Sauce and Mirin into a saucepan, add Mushrooms and cook until Mushrooms are soft. Mix Potato Starch with Water and add it to the sauce gradually until the sauce thickens.
Heat oil to 180℃. Cut Tofu into about 4-5cm size, coat with Potato Starch, and fry until light golden. Drain on a rack or paper towel.
Place Tofu in a bowl and cover with hot mushroom sauce. Sprinkle some chopped Spring Onion and serve.
