→ Main Ingredients
07 -
1 package (400g) firm tofu, cut into thick slices and patted dry
08 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
09 -
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
10 -
Sesame seeds for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Whisk together soy sauce, honey, gochugaru, water, minced garlic, and sliced green onion in a bowl. Set aside.
02 -
Preheat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add tofu slices and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.
03 -
Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the tofu. Allow tofu to braise until most of the liquid has reduced, occasionally spooning sauce over the tofu.
04 -
Drizzle toasted sesame oil over the braised tofu and flip the pieces to distribute the oil evenly.
05 -
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of gochugaru: 1 tablespoon for spicy, ½ tablespoon for moderate, or 1 teaspoon for mild.
02 -
For best results, use a non-stick pan to prevent tofu from sticking and breaking during flipping.
03 -
Substitute honey with sugar or another sweetener to make this dish vegan.
04 -
Use certified gluten-free soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
