Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use plenty of oil when grilling tofu to create a firm outer layer, preventing it from breaking apart during simmering.
  • Stir-frying the onion and kimchi directly in the oil used to grill the tofu enhances the depth of flavor, as the aromas infuse into the ingredients.
  • As the dish simmers, continuously baste the tofu with sauce to ensure the seasoning doesn’t stay on the surface but fully penetrates the inside.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a hearty, spicy-sour stew to complete a satisfying meal.
  • Home cooks wanting to use up leftover spicy fermented kimchi to make a unique and popular tofu dish.
  • Anyone seeking a flavorful side dish where the seasoning deeply penetrates the tofu without sticking to the surface.
