Prepare the vegetables as specified.

1

Cut the tofu into about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick cubes.

3

Add the meat, and cook until the meat is no longer pink, breaking up with a wooden spoon.

4

Add the soy sauce, doenjang, gochujang, and sugar and stir to blend with the meat. Add the bell peppers and cook briefly until slightly softened.

5

Add 1-1/2 cups of water to the pan, and bring it to a boil.

Then, slide the tofu into the pan, gently stirring to spread into a single layer. Cook, gently stirring 2 to 3 times to make sure the tofu doesn’t stick to the pan.
