Ganmodoki - deep-fried tofu mixed with thinly sliced vegetables

The ingredients from 13 unique EU countries, such as smooth cream cheese from Denmark and speck from Austria with its condensed flavour, are delicious eaten on their own, and combined with Japanese tofu to create a well-balanced taste. Deep-fry the tofu in richly flavoured Italian extra virgin olive oil Monte Etna (PDO) and serve with a sprinkling of sweet carob powder from Cyprus.
