Taro Root & Fluffy Fried Tofu with Edamame

1. 1

   Either boil or microwave the taro root!

2. 2

   Once softened, place in a bowl and mash (if boiled in vacuum packaging, you can just mash them inside the package for convenience).

3. 3

   Thoroughly drain the tofu, then break it up and add it to the bowl from Step 1.

4. 4

   Add the ground meat and edamame, then mix everything together while mashing the taro root and tofu.

5. 5

   Add all of the flavoring ingredients and continue mixing.

6. 6

   Use plenty of ginger and pepper, if you like -- it's delicious that way.

7. 7

   Fill a wide container with plenty of katakuriko, and use a large spoon to scoop out a spoonful of the Step 3 mixture.

8. 8

   Coat it in the katakuriko.

9. 9

   While coating, the mixture may be soft from the taro root.

10. 10

    Gently coat, taking care not to smash it.

11. 11

    Fry in 170 C oil until golden brown, and they're complete!

12. 12

    They're already flavored, so enjoy them as-is.

13. 13

    Make a ton and serve them up to guests on a big plate.
