Description
Dubu jorim is a popular dish in Korea. This dish is quick, easy and bursting with flavor. It’s also ready in as little as 15 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of firm tofu (450g)
- cooking oil
- ½ cup water
Sauce
- 3 tbsp Korean soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp gochugaru
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced (25g)
garnish: sesame seeds & scallions
Instructions
- Add all of the sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Set aside for later.
- Drain as much water as possible from the tofu. Wrap paper towels around the tofu block and squeeze, while being careful not to rip it. Then cut the tofu block in half and again in the opposite direction for small squares. Lay the tofu on paper towels (or cloth) and place more paper towels on top. Press down to extract more water.
- Next, add about 1 tbsp of oil in a nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Add the tofu squares and cook until golden brown. Please note the cooking time will vary based on your tofu moisture level and temperature. Flip the tofu over and cook until golden brown on the other side as well.
- Add the sauce from earlier and ½ cup water to the pan. Mix well and bring to a boil. Then, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to simmer until the desired consistency is reached. Serve hot or cold and reserve the extra sauce on the side. Enjoy! 🍵
