Dubu jorim l braised tofu

▲Dubu jorim (braised tofu) (Korean Bapsang)

Ingredients:
• 1 pack firm tofu (about 500 grams)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable/ canola oil


For the sauce:
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 gochugaru (Korean red chili pepper flakes)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seed
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 scallions, finely chopped


Cut the tofu block into about 1-centimeter-thick rectangular pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.


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


Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. 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-low heat. Flip them over and simmer for another minute or two. Serve warm or cold with a bowl of rice.
