wow, it is delicious! I did it!

[@Maangchi]

Great!!

[@uluwehi54]

hi maangchi, i made this about 15 minutes ago for my mom who can’t chew due to her new dentures. she’s been living off of sausage for about a month now, so i felt really bad. i found your recipe and decided to give it a try! i diced everything really small and she absolutely loved it. she works as a chef at a hotel, and had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. i’m so grateful for you maangchi! for the first time in a month, my mom had a proper meal and loved it. thank you! love from hawaii

[@Maangchi]

Yeah, this was a good choice for your mom! I'm glad she could eat it. BTW, you are awesome! : )

[@blackhair85]

This may sound trivial but I so love how Maangchi always films when she washes her hands/her utensils/her ingredients. It´s something I sometimes miss when I watch regular local cookshows, yet I find it so important to prepare and cook your meals cleanly, especially if you use eggs or meat.

[@Adwoa1]

Lol I actually love that too, it makes me feel like she's REALLY cooking, and the cleanliness is comforting....especially right now 😅

[@ezura4760]

Yeah it’s like watching a family member cook from over their shoulder as opposed to those pro chefs in their studio set kitchens.

[@kimberlyy911]

Yessss, because when she first started, she said people would comment omg did you even wash your hands after touching chicken, etc lol

[@Ira.1]

So aptly put, it made me realise that I enjoy it too

[@flamemano]

Cleanliness is important, but only when its actually necessary. She actually really tends to over-wash when shes cooking.

this is so heartwarming, brought a huge smile to my face. really love that she kept a vegetarian option in mind.

Good video! One tiny tip from Chinese. You can boil the tofu with boiling water for about one or two minutes before you put it into that brilliant sauce. This treatment can remove the beany favor of tofu and make this dish more tasty.

I really like this recipe :) I put my own east-asia twist on it using grinded toasted szechuan pepper, red thai chili, fish sauce, 1TblSp tomato paste, 1TblSp homemade fermented garlic honey, a lime leaf and some lemon juice. It's really one of my favorites :) Also, just adding some chopped Kimchi is really great! I also once made this with crushed star anis, thai basil, crushed coriander seeds and fish sauce, and it really was tasting very vietnam-fusiony. This recipe is really amazing!

I just made a vegetarian version of this with some local mushrooms instead of meat like you suggested and it's phenomenal!! 😍😍😍 The mushroom flavor really compliments the smokiness of the gochugaru, they have a pleasant chew to them and the dish pairs beautifully with iced oolong tea ❤ I've been on a long-term weight loss journey and I've been trying a lot more Korean food because of it because there is so much incredible, healthy and low calorie density Korean food out there that doesn't sacrifice at all when it comes to flavor! Plus so much of it is shockingly easy and quick to make. I've been dieting and loosing weight and yet I feel like I'm eating like a king 👑 I will never be able to go without gochugaru, gochujang, Korean soybean paste, kimchi and sesame oil in my kitchen ever again.

[@bronzeowl9]

Here's my reheating method if anyone's curious: 1. Start some rice - I used basmati, which took 16 minutes in the pressure cooker. 1. Add ~1.5 cups of the tofu/sauce mixture to a pan 2. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of broth or water to the pan 3. Put a lid on the pan, heat on medium until simmering, then lower med-lo or low. 4. By the time the rice is done, the mapadubu is heated enough for me. :) Anyone know the song around 9:40? sounds very nice and cheery

I share a lot of these videos with a cousin of mine. Her mom was Japanese, and my cousin actually lived in Japan with her parents (who met during WWII) for quite a few years growing up. Her mom died of cancer quite a few years ago. When her mother was younger, a child herself, she had lived in or near where the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki...and her problems with cancer later in life were as a result of this. My cousin always talks about the different things her mom would cook in the Japanese style. So I share these with her and even though the dishes may be slightly different in some ways, there are a lot of them that are familiar to her. She loves the videos.

Vegetarian here - THANK YOU for the vegg version. I will definitely be making. Need to find the pepper paste stuff you used. I love mapo tofu and I'm glad to know how to make it!
