I was looking for a vegan tofu recipe from Korea and I got lucky. I found Dubu Jorim – a spicy braised tofu that works as a side dish with any meal. It is super easy to make and uses every day ingredients that you have in your Kitchen. If you want to cook a Korean dish, it doesn’t get easier than this.

  1. Wrap tofu block in a paper towel and keep something a little heavy on it to drain the water from it.
  2. Once the tofu is dry, cut it into slices. The size and number of slices can be of your choice.
  3. Pan fry the tofu slices in oil. Make sure to fry on both sides until golden brown. Keep aside.
  4. Start with the sauce. Put all the ingredients of the sauce in a bowl. Mix with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Your sauce is ready. Keep aside.
  5. Finely chop red onion and garlic.
