Easy and Inexpensive but Yummy Panfried Tofu with Gochujang

This recipe uses silken tofu that has been drained of water. It's coated in katakuriko, panfried, and covered in sauce. The texture of the tofu is thick and creamy,but it's still silky and pudding-like. This dish packs a punch and is delicious.
Make sure to drain the tofu very well. The more you drain it, the less likely it is to fall apart while cooking.
When coating the tofu with katakuriko, the tofu may fall apart so be careful. However, since it is coated with the katakuriko, the tofu sticks together again when you pan fry it anyway . For young children or people who don't like spicy food, reduce the amount of gochujang and add some ketchup. Recipe by pegupepepe

Cooking Instructions
- 1
The ingredients.
- 2
Boil the silken tofu first. By boiling, it firms and hardens a bit, and becomes easier to handle.
- 3
Cut the tofu in half horizontally, and slice about 1.5 cm thick. Place the slices for a while on a tilted cutting board. Drain the tofu well.
- 4
By draining out the water, the tofu flavor becomes more concentrated and delicious To finish draining the tofu, wrap it gently and paper towels and press lightly.
- 5
Let's make the sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients. I used a finely ground chili powder this time, but coarsely ground chili pepper is fine too. Mix very well.
- 6
Put a generous amount of sesame oil in a large frying pan and heat over low. (The oil will be wiped out later, so it's OK to add a lot here).
- 7
Coat both sides of the tofu with katakuriko. Shake off the excess, and pan fry over medium heat. Use a big frying pan to keep the pieces from sticking to each other.
- 8
When the tofu is golden brown, wipe off the excess oil in the frying pan with paper towels Otherwise the finished dish will be kind of oily.
- 9
When both sides are browned (and the surface has hardened), add half the sauce to the frying pan.
- 10
Swirl the frying pan to coat the tofu with the sauce. When the sauce is bubbling and has started to thicken, turn the tofu pieces over.
- 11
Add the rest of the sauce. Swirl the frying pan again to coat the tofu with the sauce.
- 12
When the tofu has been coated with the sauce, it's done. It took 5 minutes maybe? Add some green onions or something as garnish. This dish is so good.
- 13
I can eat 3 entire bowlfuls of rice with it. It's also great as a drinking appetizer too. Don't drink too much.
- 14
Korean chili pepper is not too hot and has a sweet aroma, so use it for this recipe.

The last recipe was the pan-fried verion of "Dubu Jorim". This one is a braised version of "Dubu Jorim".This one may be easier, but both are budget-friendly!But the rice will disappear rather quickly as though it's a drink. Prepare a lot of rice.You can use ground meat or a mixture of ground beef, pork or chicken. If you use just ground beef, the taste will be rich. If you use ground pork only, it will be fragrant. If you use ground chicken only, the taste will be soft. I used 100 g of beef and pork mixture today.Chose a silken tofu or cheap soft tofu. Those make this dish delicious! For 2-3 servings.

Crisp Deep-fried Tofu Crisp Deep-fried Tofu
I wanted to try a unique tofu recipe, so I tried making this. Once drained, the tofu crumbles easily, and it becomes very hot after frying, so handle it carefully.Step 3 - While the tofu needs to be drained, you don't need to wipe the excess water from the surface. Make sure to sprinkle plenty of katakuriko on the tofu, but don't sprinkle so much that it becomes bulky.Step 5 - Garnished with green onions or grated daikon radish gives this a refreshing touch. I also recommend trying it with different sauces. Recipe by Kogekogepan cookpad.japan -

Easy Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Szechuan Pepper Easy Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Szechuan Pepper
I really wanted to use Szechuan pepper.Adjust the amount of water depending on the water content of the tofu. If you let the tofu boil, the texture will change for the worse, so be careful. If the tofu falls apart while you're stir-frying it, it's not a problem. The ginger juice added at the end brings the flavors together. You can use dried shrimp instead of the canned scallops. For 4 servings. Recipe by Asamato cookpad.japan -
Korean Style Fried Tofu with Chili Garlic Soy Sauce Korean Style Fried Tofu with Chili Garlic Soy Sauce
The best way to get a meateater who's never tried tofu to hate it is to serve it as a meat substitute.Because there is no way a brick of soybean curd is ever going to take the place of a juicy steak, or a meaty pork chop, or even a piece of chicken breast. Well, maybe a chicken breast... specially if it's the boneless, skinless kind...But anyways, you don't hate tofu. What you hate is tofu that's served as meat. What you hate is tofu fashioned into *burger* patties. What you hate is when people tell you to just sprinkle some Bacos on tofu and it'll taste just like bacon.You like tofu. You know why? Because firstly, tofu tastes like tofu - mildly nutty and yes, wildly adaptable, but not as a substitute for meat. And when you prepare tofu to complement its flavor rather than mask it, you don't have the undesired effect of finding out that it really doesn't taste just like whatever you sprinkled on it. Secondly, because it is such a simple and elegant food, it takes well to simple, easy, and elegant preparations. :) x -
