Lee Hye-jung's Premium Braised Tofu

A meticulously prepared premium tofu dish where seasoned tofu is pan-fried in large pieces, topped with stir-fried beef and colorful vegetables, then steamed until moist and tender.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sprinkling salt on the tofu first draws out moisture, making it firmer and less likely to break when pan-frying.
  • Stir-frying the vegetables separately over high heat prevents them from releasing water and becoming soggy, preserving their crispness.
  • Steaming instead of braising in a pan allows the seasoning to gently infuse the tofu, resulting in a cleaner, more delicate flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make an impressive, thoughtful dish instead of ordinary braised tofu.
  • Those looking for a hearty main side dish that combines mild tofu, meat, and vegetables.
  • Those who want to learn the technique for a non-greasy, moist, and tender tofu dish.
