Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make Baek Jong-won’s all-purpose sauce, the key to delicious braised tofu. Generously add 1.5 cups (approx. 300g) of minced pork to a bowl.
Step 2
Next, add 1/2 cup (approx. 100g) of sugar and 3 cups (approx. 600ml) of soy sauce for a deep flavor. Ensure you follow the ratio accurately.
Step 3
Now, transfer the prepared ingredients to a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat.
Step 4
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface as the sauce boils. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
Voila! Your delicious Baek Jong-won style all-purpose sauce is ready. Let it cool slightly before storing to use in various dishes.
Step 6
Rinse the tofu under running water, then cut it into three equal portions, about 1.5-2cm thick, into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the green onion and the Cheongyang pepper (remove seeds if you prefer less spice).
Step 7
Arrange the sliced tofu neatly at the bottom of a pot. Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic, 1 Tbsp of gochugaru, and the chopped green onion and Cheongyang pepper evenly over the tofu. Finally, pour in 1 ladle of the all-purpose sauce and 2 ladles of water.
Step 8
Now, place the pot over medium heat and let it simmer until the tofu absorbs the flavorful sauce. Spooning some of the sauce over the tofu occasionally will enhance the taste. Enjoy your delicious braised tofu!
