Lim Sung-geun's Whole Tofu Grilled

A tofu dish that maximizes the crispy exterior and moist interior by grilling the tofu whole without cutting it

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use at least 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil when grilling tofu to prevent burning and achieve a crisp, fried-like exterior.
  • Place non-breakable wooden chopsticks under the tofu before scoring to ensure the bottom doesn't split completely.
  • Use thin, cooking-grade bonito flakes meant for garnishing—these are soft and edible, unlike those used for broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a gourmet dish using inexpensive, ordinary tofu.
  • People looking for a clean, delicious appetizer to enjoy with makgeolli or beer.
