Korean cooking ingredients:

Tofu

There are a few different kinds of Tofu at a grocery store. This one is used for stew. In my cooking videos of Doen Jang jji gae (Tofu stew with bean paste) and Kimchi jji gae (kimchi stew) , I used this Tofu. You will see 3 white letters in the blue circle on the package: “찌개용”, which means “for stew”.

    Hi, Maangchi,

    Have you ever made your own dubu? A restaurant near me makes a wonderful appetizer of fresh tofu stacked with thinly sliced cucumbers, with a soy/sesame sauce. It is so fresh and wonderful, I’d love to learn to make my own tofu if it’s not too hard.

    Thanks!

    Hi,Lucy,
    I have never made my own dubu.
    Dubu is very cheap, so I have never thought about making it.
    Maybe later, : )
