Dubu Jorim (Braised Tofu)

Nguyên liệu

• 1 about 18-oz pack firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon vegetable/canola oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru, 고추가루)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seed
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 scallions (1 if large), finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Cách làm

1. 1

   Cut the tofu block into 1/2-inch thick rectangular pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients together.

3. 3

   Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet, carefully add the tofu pieces (tofu breaks easily) and sear over medium to medium high heat until lightly golden brown (about 3 - 4 minutes each side).

4. 4

   Spoon the sauce over the tofu pieces. Slightly lift a side of the tofu pieces to get the sauce under them. Simmer for 3 - 4 minutes over medium to medium low heat. Flip them over, and simmer for another minute or two, spooning the sauce over the tofu pieces. Serve warm or cold with a bowl of rice.
