Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 250 g firm tofu (, I might be biased but I think Korean tofu seem tastier than any other kinds of tofu I’ve tried.)
- 10 g green onion ((0.4 ounces), thinly sliced)
- Some cooking oil (, I used rice bran oil)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp raw sugar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- 1
Take out the tofu from the packaging and drain off the water. Gently pat dry the outer layer of tofu with some kitchen paper. Cut the tofu into bite sized pieces. (You can cut it into small cubes or cut into medium-sized rectangles, whichever you like). Gently pat dry both sides of the sliced tofu with some kitchen paper.

Stack the tofu in a shallow bowl and add the green onion. Pour the sauce around the tofu and green onion. Serve.
