Maeil Matna's Braised Tofu with Seaweed

A savory rice-stealing side dish made by wrapping tofu with seaweed, coating it in starch, pan-frying, and quickly braising in a sweet and salty soy sauce glaze.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Seaweed shrinks when heated, so do not wrap it too tightly around the tofu.
  • Coat thoroughly with starch powder to prevent the seaweed from peeling off during frying and to achieve a chewy texture.
  • The glaze can burn quickly due to the soy sauce and honey, so flip the tofu immediately after pouring the glaze and turn off the heat right away.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a unique and savory side dish instead of the usual braised tofu.
  • Those who want to make a sweet and salty rice-stealing side dish with a chewy exterior and moist interior.
