Tofu kimchi is a very simple dish.
You steam tofu, then stir-fry kimchi (sometimes with pork), and serve them together.
It is literally tofu + kimchi.
However, this simple dish truly shines when paired with alcohol.
The salty, stir-fried kimchi cuts through the taste of the drink, while the tofu balances out that saltiness.
That’s how this combination becomes so satisfying.
You can often find tofu kimchi on the way down after a hike, whether big or small.
That’s because, in Korea, having tofu kimchi with a glass of makgeolli after hiking is basically an unwritten rule.
You should definitely give it a try at least once.
