Braised Tofu

….My family likes any kind of tofu dish. Tofu is a must-have ingredient in my refrigerator. It’s a very simple tofu recipe. This is something you can easily put together in a short amount of time that will please pretty much everybody and especially vegetarians. Tofu is pronounced as “doo boo” in Korean. If you say doo boo in front of Koreans, they will be impressed. This recipe is from @booth108kwon. My husband JOHN ate deliciously again today.
