Amazing. I am so jealous I don't even know where to begin. Can I be tacky and ask about how much it cost to build this oven? It would be worth every penny, but I am curious.

Thanks!

Seriously Asian: Tofu Dengaku

This recipe sounds fabulous. I only recently became a fan of tofu. The recipe that did it for me was printed in the March issue ofGourmet. In this preparation, the tofu is simmered in water and then topped with a sauce made from toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, scallions and sesame oil. It is delicious. It sounds similar to your pot of silken Korean tofu simmered in a spicy broth. Would you care to share that recipe, too?

Great looking oven. I've been working on a Pompeii style oven all summer. I'm amazed at how quickly you've finished yours!

Alexandra, I may do a piece on Korean tofu pots. I'm not sure though, because the type of tofu used for those pots is even softer and more delicate that the "silken" tofu that most people can find in stores. If you are shopping at an Asian market, look for tofu encased in airtight logs, rather than the blocks stored in plastic boxes. The logs are what you'd need for korean tofu pots.
