This is the best Tofu on Stilts / Dengaku recipe on the web!!JAPAN Advance Preparation: 30 minutes for draining the tofu Special Equipment: 16 long bamboo skewers, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained Dengaku is a popular dish at the teahouses that line the lovely Philosopher’s Walk in Kyoto. The dish takes its curious name from the Japanese word for "stilt." The stilts in question are two bamboo skewers that are used to hold the piece of tofu over the coals for grilling. The traditional grill for cooking dengaku does not have a grate. Instead, the skewers are propped up over the flames and the tofu is grilled in midair. Acceptable results can be obtained on a regular grill or hibachi, but you will lose some glaze. _ piece tofu (each 1 pound) extra-firm ___ c white miso _ tbs rice cooking wine, mirin, (sweet rice wine) or cream sherry _ tbs sake _ tbs sugar _ tbs mayonnaise _ tbs sesame seeds, toasted 1. Rinse the tofu under cold running water and drain. Place a cutting board on a slight incline in the sink. Place the tofu on the cutting board and put a heavy plate or pot lid on top of it to press out the excess liquid. This will take about 30 minutes. 2. If desired, set up the grill for grateless grilling. Preheat the grill to high. 3. Combine the miso, mirin, sake, sugar, and mayonnaise in the top of a double boiler and whisk until smooth. Cook the sauce over gently simmering water until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. 4. Cut each piece of tofu horizontally in half, then cut each of the resultant pieces in half crosswise. Push 2 skewers through each piece of tofu, starting at one narrow end. 5. When ready to cook, arrange the tofu on the grill as described in the grateless method or oil the grill grate and arrange the tofu directly on it. Grill, turning with a spatula, until lightly browned on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush with miso glaze as the tofu cooks. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
