Cooking tips

Blanching the tofu whole for 5 minutes keeps it soft and moist; cutting it before blanching can make it firm and tough.
When stir-frying the kimchi, drain as much liquid from the sour kimchi as possible to avoid a muddy taste and achieve a clean flavor.
The finished all-purpose sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for over 6 months without spoiling, so making a large batch is convenient.
