Prepare the brine by putting the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, apple, dried shiitake mushrooms, and water into a thick bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat and boil for another 30 minutes. Strain with a strainer. Put the fried tofu and the sliced onion into a container. Pour the strained brine over top, and add the cooked shiitake mushrooms. To serve, put some of the tofu, brine, and onions into a serving bowl, along with some of the shittake mushroom, chopped. Serve as a side dish with rice or noodles. To eat, mix in some of the brine with your rice. Eat your rice and take a piece of tofu, mushroom or slice of onion from time to time, too.

Hello, Maangchi.
I enjoy watching your shows.
I have never tried tofu pickles but I do have a lot of tofu I need to use before it goes bad.
Now I am make another batch of my favorite kkakdugi.
You can never use too much Korean chili.
I was a better cook than my ex-wife and she was born in North Korea.
All the best to those trapped in North Korea.
I had a college roommate who was half Korean and half Japanese.
There's a tough combination.
Once we were in a Korean grocery store in Los Angeles and he bought some kimchee.
It was fish intestines and tasted like hot rubber bands.
It was okay because I played jokes on him as well.

So happy to find this! My favourite Korean restaurant closed a few years ago and this was one of their main side dishes. Can't wait to try it! They used to serve a really delicious macaroni salad that I haven't been able to find anywhere. I love your videos! They make me smile! Thank you!

Can you deep fry the tofu? That would avoid the turning to get all sides browned. Any reason why not? (Would the wet tofu explode in the oil)
