Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Freezing and thawing tofu creates tiny pores inside, allowing seasonings to penetrate deeply and giving it a much chewier texture similar to meat.
  • Using strawberry jam and doenjang together instead of sugar enhances the depth and sophistication of flavor through their synergistic interaction, delivering a richer, more complex taste with a subtle sweetness.
  • You can substitute bell peppers with onions cut into similar-sized pieces for a deliciously sweet and crunchy alternative.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a unique side dish featuring a bold, chewy texture in tofu.
  • Those looking to use up leftover tofu stored in the freezer in a delicious and special way.
  • Fans of spicy-sweet, savory flavors reminiscent of mapo tofu.
