Dubu Tenders

2.0

-Changgok, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-

with IZ

A new product by Pulmuone: nuggets of dubu (tofu), breaded, frozen.   Instructions suggest either to air-fry or pan-fry.

I pan-fried.  In oil.  8 minutes.

Eh.  A touch of crisp on the outside – very bland, improved considerably with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  A touch of chew on the inside, somewhat like a soft cheese, though I would’ve preferred it softer/silkier – very bland, but okay dipped in sauce (Thai chili sauce + ketchup).  I told IZ that they were chicken nuggets, and he didn’t catch on.

Wondering if the nuggets could be tossed with other ingredients in a Chinese-style stir-fry (see for comparison 13.191 The Legend of General Tso).
