Simmered in a thick soy based broth, this Kanazawa-style Simmered Chicken and Tofu (Jibuni) is a comfort food that is an iconic dish in Ishikawa prefecture.

Steps to make Simmered Atsuage (Thick Fried Tofu) and Chicken:
  1. Cut the chicken and atsuage into bite-size pieces and dust with a generous amount of katakuriko. Cut off the stems of the mushrooms and separate the mushrooms with your hands.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a frying pan. Cook the atsuage and chicken from Step 1 over high heat.
  3. When everything is fragrant and browned, keep the heat on high and pour the soy sauce in from the edge of the pan. Leave it alone for about 10 seconds. Then add the ★ ingredients and the shimeji mushrooms. When it comes to a boil, stir from time to time.
  4. Simmer over medium heat for 7 or 8 minutes. All done.
  5. Tip: After adding the soy sauce, you want to cook until you hear a sizzling sound. Be careful not to burn the atsuage.

Unless you have six hours to sous-vide the tofu and completely transfuse the internal moisture content, don't expect a lot of flavor from a marinade. Chicken and tofu are cooked in the wok with vegetables and Chinese flavorings. Serve alone, with rice, or over noodles. Soak the konbu in the water for at least an hour. Heat the water to a simmer, and turn off the heat.
