Korean Spicy Braised Tofu: Vegan Soy-Mate / 비건 두부 조림

Step 1

Cut tofu into half-inch thick and square-sized slices. Place a paper towel on a baking pan and then place the tofu slices on top. Pat tofu with another paper towel to remove moisture. Season with salt.

Step 2

Add chopped scallions, minced garlic, gochugaru, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, and sesame oil in the bowl. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Drizzle oil on a pan, add tofu, and stir-fry until golden brown on both sides. Pour the sauce evenly onto the pan. Add 1/4 cup of water to the sauce bowl and pour the water and the remaining sauce onto the pan again. Flip from time to time if needed and cook over low heat to prevent burning.

Step 4

Garnish with chopped scallions, red chili threads, sesame seeds, and chopped red chili peppers on top of the braised tofu and serve with rice.
