Delicious Braised Tofu Recipe (Baek Jong-won Style)
Easy Braised Tofu for Beginners and Busy Lives
Let’s make a delicious braised tofu dish that you can whip up in no time! This is a perfect side dish that pairs wonderfully with rice.
Main Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu (approx. 300g)
- 1/2 Cheongyang chili pepper (or adjust to taste)
- 1/4 stalk green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pat the tofu block dry with paper towels. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 2cm thick. This helps the tofu absorb the sauce evenly and prevents it from breaking apart.
Step 2
Finely chop the Cheongyang chili pepper and green onion. If you prefer more heat, feel free to add an extra chili pepper.
Step 3
Arrange the sliced tofu neatly in a pot or a deep pan. Handle the tofu gently to avoid crumbling.
Step 4
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and perilla oil evenly over the tofu to create the seasoning. You can also mix these ingredients separately to make a sauce if you prefer.
