Atsuage in Soup
Miso soup is a perfect place to use some small pieces of atsuage tofu. The rich flavour of miso combines very well with tofu and you often have either fresh or fried tofu included with miso soup. Why stop at just one though when you can use atsuage and have the delicious textures of both fresh and fried tofu in one bowl of healthy miso soup!
Try adding the atsuage to a bowl of instant miso soup. Or if you prefer, make your own miso soup with miso paste, dashi stock and hot water.

Atsuage Stirfry
Tofu is often used in stirfries and atsuage is no exception. The benefit of using atsuage is that due to the frying process, it becomes much more solid than regular tofu and can withstand the intensity of being thrown round a pan. The solid texture of atusage also makes it an ideal meat substitute in many types of stirfries.
Try using some cut up blocks of atsuage, sliced onion, grated ginger and other vegetables of your choice in a stirfry with some oyster sauce and udon noodles for a great tasting stirfry.

Atsuage with Soy Sauce
A common way to enjoy all types of tofu is to serve simply with a small amount of Soy Sauce. This makes atsuage a great side dish or something you can use in a bento. Try with adding a small amount of grated ginger too and enjoy the delicate soy taste with a kick!
