Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Squeeze both tofu and cabbage as dry as possible to prevent sogginess or liquid buildup over time.
  • When blanching tofu, leave it in hot water (off the heat) for 5 minutes—this helps firm up the tofu and draw out moisture more effectively.
  • For a spicy kick, finely chop one green chili pepper and add it to the dressing.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a quick and easy side dish with napa cabbage and tofu.
  • Fans of savory, doenjang-flavored side dishes.
