TIPS: Instead of serving tofu with accompaniments, you can try seasoning the cornflour with chilli flakes, sesame seeds or seven-spice mix (sichimi togarashi).

To prepare:

Press tofu between two chopping boards with weights on top
Raise one end and stand for at least 25 mins (drain all water)
Cut tofu into 8 even sizes, pat dry between layers of paper towel
Toss in cornflour
Shake away any excess cornflour
Heat oil in pan, cook tofu in batches till lightly brown
Drain excess oil
In a pot, combine dashi, sauce and mirin
Bring to a boil
Place 2 pieces of tofu in each serving bowl
Divide daikon, ginger and onion among bowls
Pour equal mounts of dashi mixture and top with bonito flakes
Serve immediately (before tofu becomes soggy)

You can also sprinkle a few slices of cut seaweed strips on the tofu as I have done in the picture.
