豆腐ステーキ
Tenu Kitchen kills the heat first, then lets the yakiniku sauce and mayo do the rest.
Firm cotton tofu, patted dry but not pressed, gets a light dusting of flour before hitting sesame oil in a hot pan; the flour creates a surface that browns and holds without turning the tofu leathery. てぬキッチン/Tenu Kitchen finishes the glaze entirely off heat: yakiniku sauce and mayonnaise go into the pan only after the burner is killed, with residual warmth doing the coating work. Tofu steak has become a fixture in Japanese weeknight cooking precisely because the protein is this fast to transform.
