Kakuni style! Tofu pork rose roll

Ingredients (for 2-3 people)

1 cotton tofu pork rib 150g (5.29oz)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon of mirin and sake
Garlic / ginger (grated or tube) 1 tsp
Potato starch (dissolved in the same amount of water) 1/2 teaspoon

How to make

Wrap the cotton tofu in kitchen paper and leave it for about 15 minutes to 1 hour to drain the water. After that, cut it into dice of about 3 cm square.


Wrap cotton tofu with pork roses. It is difficult to unravel the meat if you pull it a little and roll it up.


Mix soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, garlic, and ginger in a frying pan and boil.


Arrange the tofu wrapped with pork belly in a frying pan. Tips for not unraveling from the end of the meat roll!


Boil on medium heat for 3 minutes, turn over and another 3 minutes. If the fire is sweet, roll it and simmer the sides lightly.


Sprinkle the potato starch dissolved in water and thicken the broth to complete. Serve on a plate.

What is its taste?

The surface is covered with pork, so the moment you put it in your mouth, it's as if a big kakuni came in. You can enjoy the tender taste of the meat and the rich taste of the sauce.



When chewed, the tofu pops out from the inside, and the umami of the meat and the sweetness of the fat begin. It's not like "Kakuni itself!", But it's a voluminous and satisfying finish. Recommended for side dishes of rice and beer!
