Ingredients
- 1 package (16 ounces, 455 grams) firm tofu
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon wild sesame or sesame oil
- 1 fresh red chile chopped, optional
Soy Chili Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (6 grams) Korean chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 green onion chopped, plus more for serving
- 2 teaspoons (5 grams) toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cut the tofu into 7 to 8 slices, about 1/2 inch (12 millimeters) thick. Lay the tofu slices flat on the cutting board and lightly sprinkle them with pinches of salt.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat the cooking oil and wild sesame oils over medium heat. Press each tofu slice firmly between two paper towels to remove moisture from the surface, replacing the paper towels as they become saturated.
- Place the tofu slices on the heated skillet. Sear them on one side until they're golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the tofu slices to the other side and continue to sear for another 3 minutes. If you prefer a crispier texture on the outside, cook them longer. Adjust the heat so that it doesn't burn the tofu.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well.
- Arrange the tofu slices on a serving dish and drizzle wih the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh chile (if using) and green onion. Serve warm or at room temperature.
