Kim Ho-yoon's Spicy Braised Tofu

A recipe for braised tofu where the tofu is salted, pan-fried until golden, then simmered down with a seasoning sauce infused with perilla oil and ginger.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Salting the tofu before pan-frying draws out enough moisture so it doesn't break apart during braising, leaving the outside nutty and the inside moist.
  • Adding a little ginger powder or minced ginger to the seasoning sauce eliminates the beany smell of tofu and brings out a clean, savory depth.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a clean, dry-braised tofu over a soupy version.
  • Those looking for a refined Korean side dish with subtle notes of perilla oil and ginger.
