Kimchi Dubu

kimchidubu

I love tofu with a passion.
Medium firm is my favorite texture.
Dubu=Tofu in Korean
My favorite tofu dishes: Dubu Jorim w/Pork Belly and Kimchi Dubu.

Kimchi Dubu is infinitely easier and faster to make than Dubu Jorim because all you have to do is sautee the bulgogi (in this instance) and saute the kimchi with vege oil, a drizzle of sesame oil), sesame seeds, and green onion. Cut the tofu into pleasing blocks of one-biters and there you have it... Kimchi Dubu. A super easy 10 minute meal. Now if you want to make tofu from scratch that is a whole another story.

My friends love to go to this one place in Ktown called Piper's on Western. This is the FIRST thing they order - medium tofu with hot kimchi. It's so simple, yet so good.

well pipers has 2 buildings. the one you're talking about is probably the restaurant. the one we go to is the watering hole/restaurant right next door. it's a very nicely constructed place. i can use any kind of chigae or tang right now. drank too much last night haha.

it's something like "Piper's Garden"... it could be soju garden. but the thing is, they only have Cham-I-Sul soju. Not the flavored stuff.
