Maeil Matna's Seaweed Tofu Jeon

Tofu jeon made by mashing tofu, adding savory depth with fermented sand lance sauce, and pan-frying with seasoned seaweed for a nutty finish

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding 1 tablespoon of fermented sand lance sauce to the batter gives just the right seasoning and a deep umami comparable to meat jeon.
  • If the tofu has too much moisture, squeeze it gently with a cloth before making the batter to prevent it from falling apart while frying.
  • Placing the seaweed first on the pan and then the batter on top keeps the seaweed from falling off and attaches it neatly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a unique side dish beyond plain tofu grills or tofu jeon.
  • Those looking for a light yet savory protein side dish.
