Umeboshi is very salty and sour in taste. That is why it is great as an addition to make a Japanese style sauce that you can drizzle over your favorite protein. For this recipe, we will be using tofu as our steak.
Take the seed out of the umeboshi. Use a knife to mince the umeboshi into paste.
Take the extra moisture from the tofu by wiping with paper towel, cut into 6 thin pieces, then dredge them with corn starch on all sides.
Heat a little oil on a fry pan (medium heat). Then grill the dredged tofu until golden brown on all sides. After fully cooked, take the tofu out from the pan and plate them.
On the frypan, add the umeboshi paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. Heat the sauce for a little bit, then add them to the tofu steak. Top with green onions, then enjoy.
