Main Ingredients
- 1/2 block tofu (approx. 150g)
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 pinch salt (very little)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare half a block of tofu, which is about 150g. Cut the tofu into slices about 2cm thick and then divide them into 8 pieces. Cutting them into this shape makes them easier to cook and for kids to pick up and eat. Lightly season the tofu with a tiny pinch of salt. Since the cheese is salty, it’s best to keep the seasoning minimal. Lightly grease a pan with perilla oil (or cooking oil) and preheat over medium-low heat. Place the prepared tofu pieces in the pan and cook until lightly golden brown on both sides.
Step 2
When cooking the tofu, avoid flipping it too often to prevent it from breaking apart. Wait until one side is sufficiently cooked and lightly browned before flipping. This method helps maintain the tofu’s shape.
Step 3
While the tofu is cooking, take the slice of cheese and cut it into 8 equal pieces, matching the size of the tofu pieces. It’s important to cut it into bite-sized pieces for your child.
Step 4
Once the tofu is nicely browned, gently push the pieces to one side of the pan and place the cut cheese pieces on top of the tofu. Turn off the heat immediately after adding the cheese. The residual heat will be enough to melt the cheese.
Step 5
Cover the pan with a lid and let it sit for about 1-2 minutes. The warm heat inside the pan will gently melt the cheese, allowing it to adhere to the tofu. Once the cheese is softly melted, your delicious Tofu Cheese Bake is ready! Serve it warm to your child, and they’re sure to love it.
