Kim Dae-seok's Microwave Tofu Stew

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Salting the tofu before cooking helps the seasoning penetrate the interior and draws out surface moisture, making the tofu firmer and less likely to break apart.
• Be sure to discard all hot liquid that collects at the bottom of the plate after microwaving—otherwise, the sauce may become diluted or watery.
• For children sensitive to spice, omit the chili pepper and red pepper powder; instead, add finely chopped bell pepper or cucumber for a milder, crunchy alternative.
