Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the tofu pieces are too large, the seasoning won’t penetrate the center properly—aim for about 2cm cubes.
  • When coating tofu with potato starch, keep enough space between pieces while cooking to prevent sticking before they turn golden.
  • Replacing some of the water in the sauce with mirin enhances shine and gives a smoother sweetness, boosting the savory depth of the seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a lighter, clean, and satisfying vegetarian version of gwangjeong compared to meat-based versions.
  • People who want to serve a single dish that satisfies both kids’ side dishes and adults’ late-night snacks with a sweet-savory flavor.
  • Home cooks looking to use up leftover tofu and rice cakes lingering in the fridge in a delicious way.
