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.
Recommended for
- Those looking to make a high-quality main side dish without using a stove, especially on hot days when turning on the gas is inconvenient.
- People who enjoy the soft, pillowy texture of tofu paired with a crisp, spicy, salty-savory sauce.
- Busy individuals after work who want to prepare a high-protein, nutritious meal with minimal tools and short cooking time.
