Korean Pupu Tofu With Soy Dipping Sauce
I was very fortunate for 21 years, to work right next door to a wonderful Japanese department store who had an entire floor dedicated to food!! Not a day went by that you did not see customers with our employee name tags still on their chest shopping for their favorite lunches.I first tasted this at one of their counters that specialized in Korean foods. I was intrigued, having never seen tofu prepared like this, but am glad that I tried Korean Pupu Tofu with Soy dipping sauce.
