Recipe 🍳

Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces, and slice the ggolli peppers and red pepper diagonally.

Once the tofu is cooked, add soy sauce 2 tablespoons, water 1 tablespoon, corn syrup 1.5 tablespoons, and ginger juice 1/2 tablespoon, then simmer until reduced.
When the sauce comes to a boil, add the sliced ggolli peppers and red pepper, and stir-fry briefly to release their fragrance.
Turn off the heat when the peppers still have a crisp texture, transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with hulled sesame seeds.

Cut tofu and peppers into bite-sized pieces.
Fry the tofu in oil until golden brown.
Add the sauce and peppers, quickly stir-fry to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

Do not overcook the peppers after adding them, or they will lose their crisp texture—turn off the heat while they’re still crunchy.
For regular rice side dishes (not diet-friendly), add an extra 1–2 tablespoons of soy sauce for better seasoning.
