Solo Cooking God's Chamchi Dubu-jorim

Tofu is first pan-fried until golden to enhance its texture, then braised in a spicy seasoning sauce with savory canned tuna, resulting in a rice-stealing side dish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pan-frying tofu in oil before braising removes moisture and firms it up, preventing it from breaking apart easily.
  • Do not discard the oil from the tuna can; adding it deepens the savory flavor and aroma of the sauce.
  • The anchovy sauce adds rich umami without the need for a separate stock, cutting down cooking time.

Recommended for

  • For those who want to make a quick and reliable rice-stealing side dish using canned tuna and tofu at home.
  • For those looking for a dish with a spicy, slightly saucy base that's great when mixed with rice.
