IU's Yonduku Cheese Pancake

A low-calorie, savory-sweet late-night snack made by removing moisture from soft tofu, mixing it with starch, pan-frying until golden and crispy, then filling it generously with cheese and simmering in a soy sauce glaze.

Cooking tips

  • If moisture isn’t properly removed from the soft tofu, both the outside and inside will remain soggy, preventing the desired crisp texture—moisture removal is the most critical step.
  • To avoid burning or misshaping, never let the cheese touch the pan directly; always place it within the inner edge of the dough layer.
  • Due to the nature of the starch dough, frequent flipping can cause tearing—only flip once the bottom is firmly crisp and solid.
  • If there’s too much oil in the pan before adding the sauce, wipe away some oil first to ensure the sauce evenly penetrates the pancake without pooling.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a satisfying, hearty late-night snack with minimal calories.
  • Fans of a crisp exterior paired with a soft, chewy interior of tofu and cheese.
  • Home cooks wanting to try a unique and delicious tofu dish using basic pantry ingredients.
