Dubu Jorim - Spicy Braised Tofu

Step 1

Cut the tofu into quarter inch pieces and pat them dry with paper towels (less moisture, crispier skin).

Step 2

Put your frying pan on a hight heat. Drop some oil into the pan and fry the tofu on both-sides, until golden brown.

Step 3

Mix water, soy sauce, Korean red chili flakes, sugar, minced garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil and sliced spring onions in a mixing bowl. (Save some of the spring onions for garnish)

Step 4

Turn the frying pan on a high heat. Pour the braising sauce into the frying pan and let it boil away for about 10 minutes (stirring occasionally).

Step 5

Once the sauce reduces to a syrup-like consistency, put the fried tofu pieces into the pan and give it a thorough coating.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and enjoy!
