Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pan-frying the tofu first prevents it from breaking apart during simmering and helps the sauce adhere better to its surface.
  • Sautéing the gochujang, red pepper powder, and minced garlic directly in the pan used for frying tofu reduces raw bitterness and enhances flavor.
  • Squid becomes tough if overcooked, so add it only after the sauce has boiled, then just thicken with the slurry to finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy the soft texture of tofu and chewy bite of squid, combined with a spicy, savory sauce.
  • People looking to create a tangy yet deeply flavorful main course as a side dish or drinking snack.
  • Anyone wanting to make a special yet delicious meal using tofu and squid.
