Techniques
  • 3 blocks extra firm tofu
Pat three 350 gram blocks of extra firm tofu dry with paper towel and set aside.
Choosing and drying the tofu
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 2 tbsp peppercorns
Into a blender put salt, 2 tablespoons onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon gochugaru and 2 tablespoons of peppercorns.
  • 2 tsp white pepper powder
  • 20 g dried shiitake mushrooms
Add 2 teaspoons white pepper powder, about 20 grams of dried shiitake mushrooms and about 3 grams of kombu.
  • 3 g kombu
Blend on high until everything is a powder; keep the umami powder in an airtight container.
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl with a fork or by hand.
Crumbling the tofu
  • 4 tsp umami powder
  • 3 tsp soy sauce
  • 2½ tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili oil
Add about 4 teaspoons of the umami powder, 3 teaspoons soy sauce, about two and a half tablespoons dark soy sauce and 2 tablespoons chili oil; mix well.
Seasoning the crumble
Spread onto a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer so it cooks evenly. Two trays and a longer time if the recipe is multiplied.
Bake about 35 to 40 minutes.
Separate the crumble with a spatula straight out of the oven, cool and transfer to a container.
