Advice
Sear the tofu until properly golden, that crust is what keeps the pieces intact and juicy during the braise. π§»
Why it works π‘
High heat searing builds structure, then a gentle simmer lets the sauce absorb slowly, while radish naturally sweetens and rounds the glaze. π‘
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 120 g baby spinach (4 cups / 4.2 oz) in the last 60 sec, or finish with 10 ml perilla oil (2 tsp / 0.34 fl oz) for a more upscale Korean aroma. πΆοΈ
