Korea
Heukimja-juk
Silky Korean rice porridge with toasted black sesame, served warm for breakfast
90 min·4 servings
Silken tofu
Unpressed tofu with a smooth, custard-like texture that breaks apart at a touch.
Silken tofu is sold in health food and organic shops, well-stocked supermarkets and Asian grocers, which also carry an extra-soft version packed in tubes.
Substitute:
There is no true substitute, because firm tofu stays dense and crumbly where silken tofu should melt into creaminess; soft tofu will do in soups at a pinch but never gets as tender.
