Soy-Sesame Tofu/To-fu Jo Rim
The mild, cream-colored bean curd called tofu takes readily to the typical Korean flavorings: garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, and soy sauce.
Ingredients
– 1 lb. firm tofu; 1/8 tsp. salt
– 4 tbsp. soy sauce; 1½ tsp. sugar
– ½ tsp. sesame oil; 2 tsp. toasted sesame
– Dash of black pepper; 3 green onions, sliced
– 1 clove garlic, crushed or minced
Instructions
Step 1:
Slice the tofu into ½-inch slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Let salted tofu stand a few minutes. Using a paper towel, pat the tofu dry.
Step 2:
Mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, pepper, green onions, garlic, and water in a 1-cup measuring cup. Stir this sauce until sugar dissolves.
Step 3:
Swirl the oil in a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu slices until golden brown, turning once.
Step 4:
One by one, dip the fried tofu slices in the sauce and return to the skillet, making layers. Pour the rest of the sauce over tofu.
