A easy Korean tofu salad served with a soy primarily based sauce. Simple, wholesome, and refreshing!
In Korea, tofu is commonly loved merely with a soy dipping sauce, referred to as yangnyeomjang (양념장). It’s a straightforward approach so as to add wholesome and engaging protein to your meal. In case you add your favourite spring salad combine, you’ll be able to flip it right into a refreshing salad. Good as a facet dish or a light-weight meal!
The straightforward sauce (yangnyeomjang) deliciously enhances the nutty tofu and barely peppery and bitter spring combine.
The tofu
Korean block tofu is available in 3 variations, relying on how a lot water is pressed out of the tofu. They’re normally labeled on the package deal as agency (부침용, for pan-frying), tender ( 찌개용, for stews), or silken (생식용, for consuming contemporary).
For this tofu salad, silken (생식용) tofu is the very best one to make use of. Whereas the tofu may be very clean and tender, it could actually maintain up its form if dealt with fastidiously. It’s additionally sliceable. The tender one (찌개용, for stews) works too.
In case you don’t have entry to Korean tofu, use any sort of block tofu yow will discover. The softer the higher.
Though tofu is already cooked and might be eaten out of the package deal, I choose boiling it for a couple of minutes. Boiling warms and softens up the tofu barely. You’ll be able to serve heat or at room temperature. I personally love heat tofu with the sauce!
