IU's Tofu Cheese Jeon Recipe, Delicious Low-Calorie Snack

IU, who has recently captured public attention through the Korean drama PERFECT CROWN, guest stars on Chef Ahn Sung Jae's YouTube channel. In the video, IU showcases her cooking skills at home with her signature dish, tofu cheese jeon.

This recipe is acknowledged by IU as suitable for cooking after work, as it only requires simple ingredients and an easy process, especially for those who aren't great at cooking like her. Tofu cheese jeon is also a perfect low-calorie snack that is still filling.

In the video, IU demonstrates her cooking skills by making tofu cheese jeon, a simple homemade dish that is her favorite. IU admits to learning this recipe from YouTube.

Not without reason, this menu is considered by IU to be suitable for snacking without guilt because it is made from silken tofu, which is low in calories.

The main ingredients used are quite simple and easy to find, including silken tofu, potato flour, grated mozzarella cheese, and enough cooking oil.

For the dipping sauce, IU only uses three basic ingredients: water, soy sauce, and allulose (calorie-free liquid sweetener). This combination creates a light sweet-savory flavor.

The cooking process begins by mixing one box of silken tofu with four tablespoons of potato starch until the texture is smooth and even.

After that, the pan is heated with a little oil. Half of the batter is poured in, then sprinkled with mozzarella cheese to taste before being covered again with the remaining batter.

Wait until the outside of the jeon turns golden brown. The crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside is the key to the deliciousness of this dish.

While waiting for the jeon to cook, IU prepares the sauce by mixing water, soy sauce, and allulose in a 1:1:1 ratio in a separate container.

After the jeon is golden brown on both sides, drain the excess oil. Make sure the outer layer of the jeon is maximally crispy so it doesn't get soggy when drizzled with sauce.

Once it's perfectly crispy, drizzle the jeon with sauce and flip it to coat both sides. The sauce that seeps into the jeon adds flavor to the batter that is completely unseasoned.
