Cooking tips
- Salting tofu beforehand helps draw out moisture through osmosis, preventing breakage during cooking and allowing better flavor absorption.
- Perilla oil has a low smoke point and burns easily, so mixing it with cooking oil in a 1:1 ratio preserves its rich aroma while preventing burning.
- Adding a small amount of water to the sauce makes it thinner and easier to spread evenly without clumping on the tofu surface.
- Gochujang sauce burns quickly, so always keep the heat at the lowest setting when applying and cooking the sauce.
Recommended for
- Those looking to try a fresh twist on ordinary tofu stew.
- Those wanting to enjoy the rich aroma of perilla oil paired with the bold, sweet-spicy depth of gochujang.
