Kimchi and Tofu: Stir-Fried Korean-Style Recipe

Remove your block of tofu from the packaging.

Bring a pot of water to boil on the stovetop and keep it on high heat.

Place the tofu block directly into the boiling water to blanch it. Leave for 3 mins in the boiling water.

Step 5

Remove the tofu from the boiling water and place it into a tofu press once it's cooled down. Press the liquid out of the tofu, so you're left with a firm, dry block.

Take a sharp knife and carefully slice the block of tofu into thin rectangles. Keep the slices covered until you're ready to serve.*

Step 7

Slice your packet of kimchi into small pieces, no more than 1 inch in length.

Heat a tbsp of vegetable oil on medium heat in a wok or large skillet on the stovetop.

Step 10

Add your kimchi to the wok and stir-fry for 4 mins.

Step 11

Add your onions to the wok and stir-fry alongside the kimchi for a further 2 mins, again on medium heat.

Once stir-fried, turn the heat off completely and add sesame seeds and sesame oil to the wok.

Mix all the ingredients to finish your dubu Korean kimchi.
