This tofu sidedish is realy good! My bf loves this too and he's usually hates tofu and is picky with korean food. I even like to put this in my bibimbap and mix it together with everything else and put less rice instead. It's soooooooooo delicious.

@cvkim Thank you for your update. Yes, the sauce yangnyeomjang is delicious. Happy cooking!

I tried cook this dish yesterday, me and my boyfriend love it <3

Thanks for sharing!

[Maangchi]

@MsCinnabons yay! : )

Hi! Thanks for sharing... I'm learning a lot from your videos. My Korean husband likes Korean food only so I've gotta learn how to prepare as many Korean dishes as possible. You're a very big help. Where are you currently living? You're not in korea, are you?

[Maangchi]

@sherizalee I'm living in New York now. Let me know how your Korean cooking goes.

[dadaruchan]

i am hungry!!! T.T

[fireflymimi]

yes, you made me hungry watching you cooking! :-)

I'm going to pan fry my tofu for kicks. I like tofu even by itself, so without a sauce or even with just soy sauce I'd probably love this. But I usually buy extra firm tofu instead of firm, will it make a difference?

[theuglykwan]

I would rather fry or heat the garlic first, raw garlic makes me cry. Looks nice though, although a bit greasy.

i am drooling... gonna make some now...

[TheFuddlelin]

thanks for sharing. it looks good and by the way those two tofo dishes are very common homey food among some asian countries like japan, china, taiwan and korean of course.

so beautiful.. Now Im hungry... thank you for making these videos

[brainrubber]

this is awesome!!!! and looks so delicious

[MorganUmbra]

Do you think for the first side dish, deep frying the tofu would be alright? I don't know much about tofu, but would this mess it up at all?

[mysteriousglamorous]

You're so brilliant! It's so delicious. I used red pepper paste instead of powder. :D

Thank you for this video. Thank's ajuhma :D
