Kim Dae-seok's Tofu Pan-Fried

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not sprinkle salt on the tofu before cooking, as osmotic pressure will make it firm and rubbery. Cooking without pre-seasoning ensures a soft texture.
• Avoid using an egg wash—directly frying in oil allows the tofu surface to become richly crisp and aromatic, delivering the best flavor when eaten fresh.
• If the heat is too high, the outer layer burns quickly while the inside remains uncooked. It’s essential to cook slowly over a gentle medium-low flame to develop color and depth.
