    What is the difference between doubanjiang and gochujang? Can I use doubanjiang for the recipe?

      Hi! Thank you for the comment. The answer is you can’t replace Doubanjiang with Gochujang for this meal. Doubanjiang is for Chinese food, and it has spiciness. Gochujang is for Korean food, it has mainly sweetness and some spiciness. So if you use Gochujang, it won’t be Chinese food!

    I skipped chicken broth and still good. But I wonder if there are substitute ingredients?

      Yes! So if ½ cup chicken broth is needed, you can replace with 1/2 tsp bouillon (or torigara soup) + ½ cup water! Just water is also ok, but if you want some deep flavor, you can do with bouillon!!

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩

Chinjao Rosu is a popular Chinese food as well as Mapo Tofu in Japan. Made from beef(or pork), green pepper and bamboo shoot then stir fried. This is loved by so many generations in Japan, so there are some instant Chinjao Rosu options that you can buy at any grocery store in Japan and make it in just 15-20 minutes! But it is also easy to make all by yourself 🥺🔥
