This version incorporates tofu, making it an excellent protein-rich option for vegetarians. The miso adds umami depth, while the shiso imparts a unique, mint-like freshness. Quick to prepare and bursting with flavor, this dish is loved for its texture contrast—crispy exterior and tender interior. Perfect as an appetizer or a light main course, it’s a favorite in Japanese cuisine for its simplicity and deliciousness.
