There are a few different kinds of Tofu at a grocery store. This one is used for stew. In my cooking videos of doenjang jjigae (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,
I love Korean food and have eaten uncooked dubu with a delicious sauce on top. It had several ingredients including sesame seeds, chili peppers chopped and soy sauce.
I would love to make this. Do you have a recipe?
I posted the recipe for the sauce in my “grilled beef” recipe
I’m copying and pasting the part from the recipe for you.
Yangnyumjang recipe:
Mix 2 tbs of soy sauce, 1 tbs of hot pepper flakes, ½ tbs of sugar, 1 tbs of sesame seeds, and 1 tbs of sesame oil.
and add 1 -2 chopped green onions to the sauce and mix it up with a spoon.
Enjoy with raw tofu! : )
yum tofu!!! i could eat it every day : )
Hi,Lucy,
I have never made my own dubu.
Dubu is very cheap, so I have never thought about making it.
Maybe later, : )
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!
Lucy
