One of my Top-3 favorite Korean banchans. Try it and it will change your mind about Tofu
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- Firm Tofu - 300 grams
- Water - ½ cup
- Soy sauce - 3 Tablespoons
- Korean red chili flakes - 1 Tablespoon
- Minced garlic - ½ Tablespoon
- Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
- Sugar - 1 teaspoon
- Sesame seeds - ½ teaspoon
- Spring onion - ½ stalk
Instructions
Fry-up Tofu
- Cut the tofu into quarter inch pieces and pat them dry with paper towels (less moisture, crispier skin).
- Put your frying pan on a hight heat. Drop some oil into the pan and fry the tofu on both-sides, until golden brown.
Make Braising Sauce
- Mix water, soy sauce, Korean red chili flakes, sugar, minced garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil and sliced spring onions in a mixing bowl. (Save some of the spring onions for garnish)
Braise Tofu
- Turn the frying pan on a high heat. Pour the braising sauce into the frying pan and let it boil away for about 10 minutes (stirring occasionally).
- Once the sauce reduces to a syrup-like consistency, put the fried tofu pieces into the pan and give it a thorough coating.
- Turn off the heat and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator - taste good cold as well
