Tofu Jorim Recipe

 

Ingredients

- Tofu (300g, adjust thickness as needed)

- Onion (1, thinly sliced)

- Spring Onion (1 stalk, thinly sliced)

- Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)

- Minced garlic (1 tablespoon)

- Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste, 2 tablespoons)

- Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)

- Sugar (1 tablespoon)

- Water (1/4 cup)

- Sesame seeds (1 teaspoon, for garnish)

- Sesame oil (1 teaspoon, for garnish)

 

Instructions

1. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces, roughly 2x2x1cm.

2. Heat cooking oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic to release its fragrance.

3. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the tofu to the pan and stir-fry over medium heat until it becomes lightly golden and crispy, about 5 minutes.

4. While stir-frying the tofu, add gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar. Continue to stir-fry until the tofu is evenly coated with the seasoning.

5. Gradually add water to the pan, stirring to create a well-mixed sauce that evenly coats the tofu.

6. Arrange the sliced onions and spring onions on top of the tofu. Cover with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.

7. Once the dish is cooked, garnish with sesame seeds and drizzle with sesame oil.

8. Serve the tofu jorim with rice.
