One of the Korean style breakfast that I often made at my 5am kitchen for hubby who needs to travel his workplace at other state at dawn. Yubu 유부 is fried tofu pocket, chobab 초밥 is sushi (stuffed rice). Yeah, it is Japanese styled Korean food, also one of the popular picnic food for Koreans beside Kimbap! It is easy to made since the Yobochobap pack contains the ready to use ingredients ~ vinegar for the sushi rice, veggie bits & seasoned fried tofu. I just need to cook rice and follow the steps to made the Yubu-chobap. Sometimes I will add in extra veggie depending on what I have in my fridge. Yobo-chobap pack is selling in Korean marts in KL. Normally there are 2 sizes available: 14 pcs (160g) and 28pcs(320g). It is required store in fridge or some Korean mart will freeze it to maintain it's freshness.
Ingredients
1 Pack of Korean Fried Tofu Pockets (14pcs)
1 Cup of Rice
¼ cup of Chopped Onion
¼ cup of Chopped Carrot
¼ cup of chopped Zuchinni
½ cup of Chopped Brocolli
Cooking oil
How to cook:
Step 1
Cook 1 cup of rice, here I add in some chopped broccoli to cook together with rice. You can blanch the broccoli for about 1-2 minute, drain and set aside for later use. Meawhile, on a heated pan, add in 1 teaspoon of oil, stir fried the chopped onion, carrot and zucchini for about 3-5 mins until it is cook, set aside. Alternately, you can also dump everything into the rice cooker when you cook rice if you are lazy.
Step 2
Once the rice is cook, pour in the stir fried veggies, the vinegar pack & dried ingredients into the rice cooker pot, mixed well and set aside, let it cool down a little before stuffed it to the fried tofu packets.

Step 3
Heat up the fried tofu pockets (with the wrapping unopen) in a bowl of hot water. Cut the edge of the tofu pocket packing, drain out the liquid inside. Gently press on the packaging to remove excess liquid from the fried tofu pocket. Remove the fried tofu pockets from the packing and set aside.
Step 4
Scoop one spoon of rice into palm, first make the rice into into sushi rice shape. Gently open up the fried tofu pocket then stuff the rice into the fried tofu pockets. Fill up more rice into the fried tofu pocket to make it full if necessary. Beware not to overstuff the tofu pocket as it might rip. Stuffed the fried tofu pocket until it looks like picture below then it is done.

Repeat step 5 until all tofu pockets are filled. Yobo-chobap goes really well with Omuk dwenjang-guk (will share the recipe later by put a link here in future).
