Recipe 🍳
- Cut the tofu into small dice, about 1.5cm on each side, for a soft texture.

- When the spicy aroma rises, add the chopped cheongyang chili peppers and lightly stir-fry.
- Add 400ml of water and the dehydrated vegetable packet from the ramyeon, and boil over high heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the ramyeon noodles and the diced tofu, and boil, allowing the broth to reduce.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, and simmer slowly to let the sauce evenly coat.
- When the liquid is nearly absorbed, turn off the heat, add the jjajang seasoning powder, and mix gently so the tofu does not break apart.

Cooking tips 💡
- Since this recipe reduces the water without draining, it is important to measure the initial 400ml of water accurately.
- After adding the tofu, stir gently with utensils to avoid breaking or mashing the pieces.
