NOTES : Briefly stir fried red bell pepper, spring onions and mild cabbage offer crunch beside the soft texture of tofu and rice or noodle. Vary vegetables by season. Wheat noodles (chow mein), buckwheat (Japanese "soba") and sweet potato (often called "Korean Vermicelli") would go well with this dish. Medium-grain white rice is popular.
