Cooking tips

  • Keep the stems intact when cutting the chilies—they act as handles for easier eating and look more appealing.
  • Since homemade doenjang tends to be saltier, use store-bought doenjang if possible; if using homemade, increase the tofu amount to balance the saltiness.
  • Avoid pre-filling the chilies with the sauce, as osmotic pressure may cause water to form. Store the chilies and sauce separately, and fill just before serving for maximum crispness.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to move beyond the usual method of dipping chilies in doenjang for something clean and refined.
  • People who prefer healthier meals featuring mild, savory tofu-doenjang wraps without excessive salt.
