Crispy Korean Pan-Fried Tofu (Dubu Buchim)

• porções: 4 servings
• tempo total: 10 minutes

Ingredientes

1 package (1 lb / 450 g) firm tofu (drained)

2 tbsp (30 ml) cooking oil

3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce

2-3 tsp (4–6 g) Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)

1 garlic (finely minced)

1 tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil

1 green onion (finely chopped)

2 tsp (6 g) toasted sesame seeds

1 fresh red chili (finely chopped, optional)

Instruções

Take the tofu out of its package and rinse. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Gently press each tofu slice with a paper towel to remove excess water from the surface, then place them in the skillet.

Sear the tofu until a nice golden crust forms on the surface, about 5 minutes. Flip the tofu slices to the other side and continue to sear another 5 minutes. The longer it cooks, the crispier it gets. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent the surface from burning.

Meanwhile, make the soy chili sauce. Mix soy sauce, Korean chili flakes, garlic, green onion, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds in a small bowl.

Arrange the tofu slices in a serving platter and drizzle the soy chili sauce on top. Garnish with fresh red chili (if using) and serve with rice.
