Ingredients
💚 1 block tofu
💚 1/2 tbsp green onion, chopped
💚 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
💚 1 tbsp red pepper powder
💚 3 tbsp soy sauce
💚 1 tbsp cooking w**e
💚 1/2 tbsp sugar
💚 1 tbsp sesame oil
💚 Cooking oil, as needed
💚 Salt, a pinch
💚 Water, as needed
Instructions
1️⃣ Cut the tofu into your preferred size and shape.
2️⃣ Pat away any excess water with a kitchen towel, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. This helps firm up the tofu and gives it a good base seasoning.
3️⃣ Mix together the green onion, minced garlic, red pepper powder, soy sauce, cooking w**e, sugar, and sesame oil to make the seasoning sauce.
4️⃣ Heat a pan and add a little more cooking oil than usual. Cook the tofu until golden brown on both sides.
5️⃣ Spoon the seasoning sauce over each piece of tofu.
6️⃣ Pour the remaining sauce over the tofu. Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
7️⃣ Cook over medium heat, using a spoon to scoop the sauce over the tofu so everything gets nicely coated and seasoned.
8️⃣ Done!! Serve it with rice, noodles, eggs, or whatever you’re craving! 🤤
Save this one for your next quick and easy meal! ✨
