Instructions

  1. Cut the tofu in half and place it in a pot of boiling water with salt. Simmer over low heat for 4-5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the water with a spatula and slice it into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Tip: To ensure the tofu blocks are warm, keep them in simmering water and slice them when you are ready to plate.
  2. In a separate skillet, heat oil over high heat and cook the pork until no longer pink. Add the kimchi to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Korean chili flakes, garlic, soy sauce, and sugar to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another minute.
  4. Add the leek and green chili (if using) to the skillet and heat through. Finally, drizzle sesame oil and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. Toss everything together.
  5. To plate, arrange the warm tofu slices on a serving platter as desired. You can place the tofu in a circle pattern with the stir-fried kimchi and pork in the center or arrange the tofu on one side and the kimchi stir-fry on the other. In either case, the vibrant color contrast will make a stunning presentation. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve warm.

Notes

  • To adapt the recipe for a vegetarian diet, remove the pork and substitute it with mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute.
