hi Chris Buford,

I love how versatile tofu is and different ways of cooking it, fried or deep fried probably tastes the best.

Hi Aeri! I found your website as I was searching for Korean recipes online and I visit your site whenever I wanna know how to make a Korean dish. I find your website really helpful & I seriously admire your cooking skills~
Just wondering, how is this dish differently made from 두부조림? can i just use the same sauce?
Hi Jamie,
Nice to meet you !!!
aha.. 두부조림.. almost similar sauce..but can be a little different too.. the 두부조림 will have some broth for cooking..and.. usually it will not have hot pepper powder.. I will post it someday. thanks
Thanks, Aeri, the tofu looks exactly like the one you made here. in square, in its tofu color, ie white, but without sauce or chilli. but they tasted full of flavour, may be they were boiled in soup or broth before serving?! i can’t tell as it’s soooo many years ago. thank you!
Hi, chen
Oops~~~ still no clue @,@ All I can think is.. they served the steamed tofu with fried kimchi and pork ??? we have that kind of food… sorry for poor answer.
The sauce is delicious! It tastes good with other things too! I even put them on dumplings earlier today… Thank you.
Hi, Chris
Haha… exactly.. you are right.. the sauce is good for other things.. like.. on top of fried fish… (just salted fish..and fry it on the pan with oil.. ) or… boiled cabbage… wrap the cabbage with this sauce and rice.. yum~~~ hehe..thanks
when i was still a kid, i went to this korean bbq restaurant which served a very flavourable tasty tofu side dish. it was dry without sauce or chilli. it’s just in its tofu color, which is white. will you teach me how to make it please? i really miss this side dish alot, thanks alot!!!
Hi, chen
I tried to guess what you were talking about…but sorry..I can’t guess what you want…. How it looks like.. (color..or ingredients…) .. how it tastes like… ?? thanks !!!!
My friends and I really like this dish. I’ve made it twice already … the first time I used too much soy sauce and it was too salty
I have seen another fried tofu banchan in the Korean supermarkets (pre-made) but it doesn’t have red pepper paste but more red pepper powder. Is that the same?
Hi, crzycpl
wow.. you already tried twice ??? Thank you !!! hehe.. the one I posted doesn’t have red pepper paste either.. I don’t know exactly what you saw..but I guess…it’s similar with mine.. just have more red pepper powder in it ?? ^^ maybe not..hehe
