Dubu jorim is a tofu dish that’s braised in a simple soy sauce-based sauce. With this recipe, you can easily turn your tofu into a flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 about 18-oz pack firm tofu
-
1 tablespoon vegetable/canola oil
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
3 tablespoons water
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru, 고추가루)
-
1 teaspoon sesame seed
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
2 scallions (1 if large), finely chopped about 1/4 cup
Directions
Cut the tofu block into 1/2-inch thick rectangular pieces. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients together.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet, carefully add the tofu pieces (tofu breaks easily) and sear over medium to medium high heat until lightly golden brown (about 3 - 4 minutes each side).
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 to medium low heat. Flip them over, and simmer for another minute or two, spooning the sauce over the tofu pieces. Serve warm or cold with a bowl of rice.
