Instructions

  1. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices. You can further cut the slices in half crosswise if you like smaller slices. Slice the onion, scallion, and the optional mushrooms and chili pepper.
  2. Combine all of the braising liquid except the perilla oil (or sesame oil).
  3. Spread the onion slices at the bottom of a small pot. Arrange the tofu on top, and then pour the braising liquid over. Bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining vegetables, and drizzle the perilla oil (or sesame oil) over. Continue to boil for 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with the perilla or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can make dashima broth by boiling a small (2-inch) piece of dried kelp in 1-1/4 cup water for 5 minutes.
