Cooking tips

  • Starch-coated tofu tends to stick together before cooking, so maintain proper spacing in the pan while frying.
  • Add corn syrup to the marinade from the beginning to ensure the outer layer develops a sticky, chewy texture when simmered.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a chewier, more elastic texture than regular tofu stew.
  • Fans of subtly fragrant, Japanese-style soy-glazed dishes with a gentle ginger note.
