Cooking tips
- Always heat dried anchovies alone in the microwave for 30 seconds before use to fully evaporate moisture and eliminate fishy odor—this step ensures a deeper, richer flavor in the final dish.
- The finished seasoning sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for rice, paired with grilled tofu, or added to dishes like abalone salad for instant flavor enhancement.
- Soondubu is very delicate and prone to breaking, so handle it carefully when assembling—gently fold the perilla leaves like wings to maintain shape without tearing.
Recommended for
- Those who want an easy yet impressive side dish without using a stove or gas range.
- People who enjoy the fresh aroma of perilla leaves combined with the soft, spongy texture of soondubu, enhanced by a rich, nutty flavor.
- Anyone looking to finish a tender tofu dish in under 10 minutes.
