What Tofu works best for Tofu Salad?Īs I shared before in my Tofu with Broccoli post, there are 3 kinds of tofu – silken soft (sundubu 순두부), soft (for stews) and firm or extra firm (for frying). And I heard that some members still use the cookbooks even to this day, so that makes me very happy. Writing in 2 languages took more effort but I think it was worth it. In addition to filling in the gaps in the recipes, I also decided I would write the cookbook in both Korean and English because many young Korean Americans were not at all comfortable in reading Korean. What seems obvious to an experienced cook is not at all obvious to a novice cook. I guess this was when I started to realize how important it is to have an accurate recipe. Many recipes came without exact amounts and times. With some ladies, I basically had to chase them down and press them to verbally tell me the recipe as I tried to write them down. Some ladies readily wrote their recipes and gave them to me. And so I sought out several good cooks and then asked them for recipes. Because there were so many good Korean mom cooks in the church but then there were also many young Korean Americans who wanted to learn how to cook, we realized a cookbook was a perfect way for the older moms to share their knowledge with the young singles or married couples. Way back when, before I ever imagined of becoming a Korean food blogger, I signed up to create a cookbook for our Korean church as a fundraiser for missions. This tofu salad recipe is special to me because it is one of the first recipe I created on my own. So where did the idea for this salad come from?Ībout 15 or so years ago, I was inspired to make this recipe after we fell in love with a tofu salad that our family always enjoyed having at our local Tofu House restaurant. It is delicious on its own but it goes amazingly well with Korean food – especially a meal loaded with heavily seasoned dishes like jjigae. “Can this be really good? Tofu is kind of boring as it is and salads can also be boring…so… how can the combination of 2 boring things turn out delicious?” Well.you have to trust me when I say this IS just simply a wonderful salad.
