Ingredients
- 1 pack of soft tofu (Sundubu)
- 0.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp chopped green chili (optional)
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 0.5 tsp honey or corn syrup
- 1-2 Tbsp water
- 0.5-1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a wide pot, place the pack of soft tofu. Add enough water to cover the tofu. Gently heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to break the tofu as it warms up, ensuring it becomes tender and heated through.
Step 2
While the tofu is warming, let’s prepare the delicious soy sauce dressing! In a small bowl, add a pinch of toasted sesame seeds. Then, mix in 0.5 tsp gochugaru, 0.5-1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1-2 Tbsp water, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, and 0.5 tsp honey (or corn syrup). For a touch of heat, add 1 Tbsp chopped green chili (if desired), 1 Tbsp chopped green onion, and 0.5 tsp minced garlic. Stir everything together until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
Step 3
Carefully transfer the warmed soft tofu to a serving dish. You can either cut the tofu in half or break it into bite-sized pieces and arrange it nicely on the plate. The key is to maintain its delicate texture.
Step 4
Drizzle the prepared soy sauce dressing generously over the warm soft tofu. The perfect balance of the dressing will complement the tofu’s smoothness, creating a wonderful culinary experience.
Step 5
And voilà! Your Savory Soy Sauce Soft Tofu is ready! You can enjoy it served over warm rice like a rice bowl topping, or as a delightful side dish. It’s simple to make but tastes absolutely fantastic, so be sure to give it a try!
