How to make Baek Jong-won's braised tofu
[ingredient]
1 block of tofu (300g)
1 tablespoon of salted shrimp paste (optional)
2 tablespoons (16g) of coarse red pepper powder
2 tablespoons (20g) of soy sauce
1/3 tablespoon (4g) of brown sugar
1 cup (180ml) of purified water
1/2 tablespoon (10g) of minced garlic
A little grated ginger (optional)
1 cup (60g) of green onions
1 Cheongyang chili pepper (10g)
1 tablespoon (7g) of perilla oil
You know what Our Day :) often talks about, right?
That's right~ Today's ingredients are also mostly at home.
These are things that are prepared.

Now, let's get started.
Shall we try making Baek Jong-won's braised tofu?


First, green onions and Cheongyang peppers
Please slice it into 0.3cm thick pieces.
Especially on rainy days
Try adding finely chopped spicy Cheongyang peppers.
It's good as a side dish for rice, but,
Even when you feel like having a drink
There is no better snack to go with drinks than this :>
However, if you don't like spicy food...
Of course, you can omit the Cheongyang peppers.


Tofu for frying and stews
It doesn't matter which one you pick.
However, since the pancake batter is a bit firmer
It is easy to maintain its shape and has a better texture.
Please keep this in mind when making your selection :)
If you drain the brine from the tofu even for a short while
You know it tastes better, right?
Try straining it through a sieve for at least a moment before using it.

Cut the tofu in half.
Please cut it into 1cm thick pieces.
As you can see, I used tofu for frying, so
It is maintaining its shape without being crushed.
However, if you prefer a softer texture
Please select the one for stew.

Now, spread the sliced tofu on a thin pan.
Until now, whenever I made braised tofu
After frying once in oil
I added the seasoning sauce,
Since I'm doing it right away this time without frying
It is convenient, but,
For some reason, I think it's better for my health.

Please pour purified water until the tofu is half submerged.
Our day :) is
I poured 1 cup (180ml) of bottled water.
It is not a dish that requires separate broth, but
Use anchovy broth or rice water instead of plain water
You can use it~

1 tablespoon of salted shrimp

2 tablespoons of coarse red pepper powder

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

1/3 tablespoon brown sugar
A little grated ginger
1 cup green onions
1 cup of Cheongyang peppers
Please put them in order.
I didn't have grated ginger, so I skipped it.
After adding all the seasoning prepared like this
I'm going to boil it down for you.
It's so easy, right? Haha
It's practically done now.
Taste it about halfway through.
Please adjust to your taste.
If you use too high heat, the moisture evaporates quickly.
Please be careful as the sauce may burn!
Simmer it over medium-low heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of perilla oil when it has reduced by half.
For those who do not have perilla oil, use sesame oil.
It's fine if you add it~
Perilla oil makes the flavor richer.
Around the time the cooking was finished
If perilla oil or sesame oil is added
You can definitely taste the nutty and deep flavor, right?
So good sesame oil and perilla oil
I think I end up finding it.

The sound of the braised tofu sauce boiling
It suddenly makes me feel hungry.
You can add tuna here as well.
My mother used to add large anchovies as well.
Depending on what ingredients are added
It can also produce a variety of flavors,
Even by adding or removing seasoning
Since it can produce a different flavor
It is a simple tofu dish that is useful to know.

Making Baek Jong-won's Braised Tofu is complete!

It is fine to simmer it until the broth is reduced,
I reduced it almost until there was no liquid left.
You can adjust this to your liking as well.



Because it contains salted shrimp paste and perilla oil
It tastes different from regular braising sauce.

Spicy and tangy,
The one my mom used to make for me when I was little
It tastes exactly like that.
Today, I made Baek Jong-won's braised tofu.
Place it on top of freshly cooked rice in the evening.
Mix it well and enjoy :)
