Microwave the tofu for 4 minutes at 600 W, put on a sieve to drain away the excess water, and cut into 2cm cubes.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, put in the sesame oil and ginger; when it's starting to smell nice add the tofu and fry until browned.
3
Add the carrot, Chinese chives and enoki mushrooms, and stir fry while taking care not to let the tofu fall apart.
4
When the vegetables are getting soft and pliant add the combined sake, soy sauce, sugar, soup stock granules and salt, and flavor.
5
When the flavoring ingredients are mixed in and the moisture has evaporated, add the katakuriko dissolved in water to thicken the sauce.
