The key to making this dish is the marinade, which is made with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and dashi. The marinade is then used to marinate the tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables, giving them a rich and savory flavor.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the marinade:

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1/4 cup dashi


For the bowl:

- 1 block of firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and dashi in a bowl. Add the tofu, mushrooms, and vegetables to the marinade and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the tofu and vegetables have marinated, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and vegetables to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.
To serve, divide the cooked brown rice into bowls and top with the umami marinated tofu and vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
