Yoon Yi-ryeon's Braised Tofu with Perilla Leaves and Seaweed

A unique braised tofu dish where fragrant perilla leaves and savory seaweed are wrapped around tofu, coated in starch, pan-fried, and then simmered in a sweet and salty sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Coating with starch and frying keeps the texture chewy and prevents sogginess over time.
  • Adding half a tablespoon of vinegar to the seasoning sauce enhances the savory flavor and leaves a clean aftertaste.
  • When frying the tofu, avoid flipping too often; let one side cook sufficiently before turning to prevent the perilla leaves and seaweed from falling off.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a different tofu dish instead of the usual braised tofu every day.
  • Those who prefer side dishes with a chewy and soft texture.
  • Those who enjoy the fragrant and savory harmony of perilla leaves and seaweed.
