How to make Spicy Korean Tofu
Preparation
Pat dry the tofu using paper towels.
Cut the tofu into rectangular pieces.
Cooking
Fry the tofu in oil until golden brown on both sides.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sesame oil, gochugaru, sugar, half of the sesame seeds, minced garlic, and the white part of the scallion.
Pour the mixture into the pan with the fried tofu and mix to evenly coat all the tofu pieces with the sauce.
Close the lid and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by half.
Serving
Garnish with the green part of the scallion and leftover sesame seeds.
Transfer to a plate and enjoy as a side dish with rice or noodles.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the tofu is well-dried to achieve a crispy texture when frying.
Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your preferred spice level.
