Main Ingredients
- 100g Tofu Noodles (Gundubu)
- 120g Cabbage
- 1 Korean Green Chili Pepper (Cheongyang Pepper)
- 1/4 Carrot
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Oil
Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 3/4 Tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Red Pepper Flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 3/4 Tbsp Sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Red Pepper Flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare about 120g of cabbage. Wash it thoroughly and then chop it into large pieces, about 2-3 cm in size, for a satisfying bite.
Step 2
Finely chop 1 Korean green chili pepper (Cheongyang pepper) for a spicy kick. Feel free to adjust the amount or omit it if you prefer less heat or are cooking for children.
Step 3
Julienne 1/4 carrot to add vibrant color and a crisp texture. To make julienning easier, you can slice the carrot thinly first before cutting into strips.
Step 4
Rinse the dried tofu noodles (Gundubu) under running water and then drain them thoroughly in a colander. Excess water can cause the noodles to clump together when stir-frying.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over high heat. Add the chopped cabbage, carrot, green chili pepper, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crisp. This quick stir-fry helps retain the vegetables’ crunch.
Step 6
Now, add the drained tofu noodles to the pan. Pour in 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce for a savory depth of flavor. Stir well to ensure the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 7
Next, add 3/4 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness and 0.5 tablespoon of Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) for a spicy flavor. Continue to stir-fry, ensuring the seasonings are well distributed among the tofu noodles and vegetables.
Step 8
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for an extra layer of umami. Stir-fry for another moment to combine all the flavors. Once everything is well incorporated, turn off the heat.
Step 9
Your delicious Chinese-style stir-fried tofu noodles with a spicy and sweet sauce are now complete! Enjoy them immediately while they’re warm for the best taste experience.
