1tablespoongochugaru
1tablespoonsugar2 scallions, thinly sliced, divided2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the tofu by slicing 1/2-inch thick slices and layering them on a plate lined with paper towels. Gently press to remove excess liquid, then replace the paper towels with dry ones and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by mixing together soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic, gochugaru, sugar, and half of the sliced scallions in a small bowl. Set aside.
Coat tofu in rice flour and pan-fry: Spread rice flour on a plate. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add canola oil. Dredge tofu in rice flour, shaking off excess. Pan-fry until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes per side.
Lower the heat, then pour and spread the sauce over the seared tofu, ensuring it goes underneath. Simmer for a total of 5-6 minutes, flipping the tofu as the sauce thickens. Add water if needed.
To serve: Take off the heat. Place the braised tofu on a plate and drizzle any extra sauce from the pot over it. Garnish with the remaining sliced scallions and additional sesame seeds. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Feel free to show your love by rating the recipe below!
