Lovely recipe! I bought yuzu impulsively when visiting a Japanese market. I’ve only used it once or twice. This is reason enough to try your fab recipe 🙂 (of course, tofu covered in flour sounds awesome, too)
Working on a few more recipes using this ingredient for a Marx Foods Blogger Review http://marxfood.com/japanese-citrus-juices/
That looks like something that a restaurant would serve.
Yeah, this looks gorgeous. I’m especially feeling the cabbage/mushroom side!
I love love the recipe. I have been obsessed with yuzu lately. I wish it was available here.
