    I was skeptic but it’s delicious

      Mmm! I had my doubts about how good this would be, even though I had to improvise. I used regular firm tofu (but pressed), toasted sesame oil, goachang seasoning, and forgot the garlic. Still amazing.

        I’m not a huge tofu eater, but I’d be willing to give this a whirl. I might also add ginger in with the garlic. Is that tofu available at most regular supermarkets? (Or where can one usually find it?)
