Cooking tips
- Instead of using a food processor, press the garlic with a knife to coarsely chop it. This leaves small chunks that provide a richer garlic flavor when chewed.
- When stir-frying gochugaru, reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning if the mixture seems dry, or drizzle soy sauce around the edge of the pan to enhance the smoky flavor.
- When adding the starch slurry, do not turn off the heat. Pour it in gradually in a circular motion while gently stirring to keep the tofu intact and achieve a smooth consistency.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make restaurant-style mapo tofu with deep, aromatic flavors at home.
- Those who want a satisfying meal with a single bowl of spicy, hearty tofu over rice.
- Those who enjoy dishes that highlight the complex flavors of garlic, ginger, and doubanjiang.
