Cooking tips
- If you only have soft stew tofu, it will break easily due to its high water content. Pan-fry it in oil for a bit longer than firm tofu to sufficiently evaporate the moisture, ensuring a firm and chewy texture.
- The sauce contains gochujang and chili powder, so it burns easily over high heat. The secret to success is to control the consistency by adding 2-3 tablespoons of water as needed.
- This finished tofu stir-fry is excellent served over freshly cooked rice, topped with a fried egg, and mixed together like a rice bowl.
Recommended for
- Those who want a spicy and flavorful dish that can finish a bowl of rice even without a meat side dish.
- Those who want to try a different kind of tofu dish with a crispy exterior and soft interior, moving beyond the usual plain braised tofu.
- Those who want to quickly make a main-dish-level side dish with just one block of affordable tofu, comparable to professional pork stir-fry.
