I love tofu! Anyone else? Unfortunately, I am the only one in this house who loves this healthy food. My husband won’t even take a bite. My son had some when I cooked this Korean braised tofu and he said it was good but it wasn’t his cup of tea. He’s just not as crazy about tofu like me.
I even have this favorite rice bowl with tofu that I can’t get enough of from my favorite Asian fusion restaurant here in the city. It is just super delicious. I could eat it everyday!
I have prepared different Tofu recipes before. Then I came across this Korean braised tofu on TikTok. It not only looks good , it’s very easy to make, needing few ingredients.
As I expected, this recipe was delicious. It was my first time to have tried a Korean tofu recipe. I didn’t include one ingredient, though – the Gochugaru or Korean chili powder. I don’t like spicy food at all so I skipped it.
This was so flavorful and pairing it with steamed Jasmine rice was just perfect. Now I’m craving for it again just by talking about it.
Tofu is a favorite substitute to meat among those who are vegetarian or vegan. I am neither of the two, but I have always enjoyed a good vegan or vegetarian dish.
Tofu is made from soybeans and there is actually a Filipino snack that is made from soybeans called Taho. Though Taho tastes sweet because of the arnibal or brown sugar syrup added into it plus sago pearls, my son said that this Korean braised tofu tasted like Taho. LOL.
Here’s the link to the video if you want to give it a try yourself.
Happy Foodie Friday, friends!
