- whisk
- French knife
- Paper Towel
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Green Onions chopped
- 1 Garlic Clove minced
- 1/2 tsp White Sugar
- 1 tsp Korean Hot Pepper Flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 14 oz Medium Tofu
- 2 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- SAUCE: Combine the soy sauce, scallions, garlic, sugar, hot pepper flakes, sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a mixing bowl.
- TOFU: Rinse the tofu under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise into 10 pieces, so you have a total of 20 1/4 inch slices.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and tilt the skillet to spread it across the pan. Add the tofu and fry until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, approximately 6-7 minutes. Turn the tofu over with a spatula, then drizzle the remaining oil around the edges of the skillet and tilt the skillet to spread it evenly. Cook until the other side of the tofu is golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the tofu to a serving plate. Spoon the spicy sauce on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
