    Stir-Fried Kimchi with Tofu, Dubu Kimchi

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    August 8, 2020

    Whenever i have some aged kimchi in my fridge, three recipes automatically pop into my head, Dubu Kimchi being one of them. The other two dishes, take a wild guess!! LOL. For a simple dish, it can function as a basic family dish as well as a great guest menu item! The intensity of the spiciness can always be altered to fit your style of course! The right way to prep the tofu would be to blanch them, however to save some time, I will show you an alternate way~~LOL. So let’s get started shall we??

    Don’t these look so mouthwatering! Just the right amount of heat from stir-fried kimchi, pepper flakes and then mixed with pork; just elevates everything two folds! On top of that, you have the soft warm tofu and crunchy perilla leaves to balance everything out!! Definitely a dish you will keep going back for more!
