Steps:
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel. Put the chicken and the Marinade ingredients into a ziplock bag or a bowl.
- Massage the bag well ensuring that all pieces are coated with the marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Heat enough oil in a deep pot or pan to 160°C/320°F (note 3). The depth of the oil should be about 3-4cm/1¼-1½".
- Meanwhile, drain excess marinade from the chicken, place the chicken pieces on paper towels to remove excess liquid, and put them in a bowl.
- Sprinkle over the corn flour and turn chicken to coat every piece with corn flour.
- Fry chicken in batches. Add several chicken pieces to the oil one by one and fry for about 2.5-3 minutes (note 4). You may want to move the chicken pieces around as they tend to stick to the bottom of the pot/pan.
- Take the chicken pieces out of the oil and rest for at least 3-4 minutes (note 5) on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
- Skim any flour crumbs from the oil if there are any and increase the temperature of the oil to 190-200°C/374-392°F (note 3).
- Put the chicken pieces back into the oil in batches and fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown and crunchy. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
- Serve immediately with shredded lettuce and parsley for decoration if using.

- In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the marinade. Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and black pepper. Set aside.
- After 30 minutes, tear the tofu. This will create a more “organic” look rather than cutting it into cubes. Marinate tofu for 30 minutes to an hour. The longer you marinate the tofu, the more it’ll soak up the flavors!
- While you wait, heat the oil to 350° Fahrenheit (medium heat) in a thick bottom pot, such as dutch oven or cast iron wok/pot. Before you start frying, make sure the oil is at the right temperature. (See notes).

- Freeze the tofu in its packet and let thaw. The quickest but safest way to thaw it without a microwave is by leaving it in a bowl of cold water on the countertop.
- Press the thawed tofu between your hands so all the liquid comes out. This is necessary so the tofu can soak up the marinade later. Then break the tofu into smallish pieces. You don't want them too big, otherwise you will only taste tofu when you bite into the karaage.
- Squeeze the juice out of the ginger and throw the fibers away. Whisk the ginger juice with the garlic, soy sauce, sake, sesame oil, nutritional yeast, sunflower seed oil and kala namak. Toss the tofu pieces with the marinade and leave it to marinate in the fridge for 2 hours, stirring after an hour.
- Start to heat up your vegetable oil. Whisk the potato starch, flour and nutritional yeast together. Pour the tofu and marinade over the dry ingredients and mix well. It will look lumpy and thick but that's fine, just make sure the pieces are coated in flour.

- Place a few folded paper towels or a clean, lint-free dish cloth on a large plate. Remove the tofu from the package and place it on the towels. Place more towels on top, cover with a second plate, and then weigh the top plate down with a few canned goods or a pot filled with water. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to extract excess water (refrigerate if pressing for longer).
- While the tofu is pressing, prepare the sauce so that the flavors have time to blend. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and cornstarch. Stir until the brown sugar and cornstarch are dissolved, then set the sauce aside.
- Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes, then season with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp cornstarch over the cubes, then toss to coat. Repeat with the second tablespoon of cornstarch, or until the tofu cubes have a nice even coating of cornstarch.
- Heat a large skillet over medium flame. Once hot, add 2 Tbsp oil and tilt the skillet until the bottom is coated in a thick layer of oil. Add the dusted tofu cubes and let cook until golden brown on the bottom. Use a spatula to turn the cubes to an uncooked side, and cook until golden brown again. Continue this process until brown and crispy on all sides, then remove the crispy tofu to a clean plate.
