Easy Korean Braised Tofu Dubu Jorim is a savory and flavorful dish that combines tender tofu with a delicious soy-based sauce infused with garlic, ginger, and sesame flavors. It's quick to make and perfect for a weeknight dinner or as part of a Korean-inspired meal.
Ingredients: 1 block firm tofu, cut into cubes. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 1 tablespoon brown sugar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ginger, minced. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 2 green onions, chopped. 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish. 1 teaspoon gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes, optional for spice.
Instructions: To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the tofu cubes in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown on all sides. Drizzle the tofu with the sauce and give it a gentle stir to coat. Stir thoroughly after adding the green onions and gochugaru, if using, to the skillet. For an additional five to seven minutes, simmer, covered, over low heat to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
