I have to make this! I love Maangi, pickles and tofu!! The recipe just says “vinegar”… like, regular white vinegar?

I think she uses apple cider vinegar which is what I have used.

Ahhh I see. I don’t know what level of heat tolerance you have, but Korean chile powder actually barely has any heat to it. It’s perfect for people who want the flavor without the burn.

Yeah I’ve never heard of it either! But google returns tons of results for it so I guess it’s a thing. Hmmm…

45

Oh perfect, i’ve got tons of that on hand!

Umm… my tolerance is at the level of the guohujang ketchup i bought is spicy :laughing:
Yeah. Maybe i’ll be brave and pick up some of the red pepper my next h mart trip, I vaguely aspire to be someone who enjoys spicy food yet in reality it just makes me cry!

That’s interesting, I don’t have google at work, I have bing, and I only got one hit for it, and that was from Maangchi. But there was plenty of hits for dubu jorim, which is a popular Korean dish, as you probably know. Are you Korean?

Even if it’s not popular, it sounds delicious and the reason I asked was because I want to make it. :slight_smile:

I had the mushroom tofu for early dinner today. Came together in my non stick pan very quickly. Enjoyed with a cold Alagash White beer and grilled pineapple rings.

Thanks.

Loads of tofu ideas here. Maybe you can use some next time you have tofu in the house.

This oldie-but-goodie thread just popped up again. If you want something a bit different from an Asian prep, I often break up TJ’s high-protein tofu into what amounts to tofu rubble and use it in my veggie chili (along with bell peppers and lots of beans). It adds a lot of protein-licious body to the chili. B, who usually turns up his nose to tofu, loves it (I grew up with tofu, he did not).

I’m curious to see it in action too! I am Korean. You?

Here’s a quick video I found on youtube if you want to give it a go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTeazXjcgAU
