Instructions

Step 1

Remove the plastic from the silken tofu container and place 2 sheets of paper towel in its place. Flip the container with the tofu sitting on top of the paper towels so they absorb the liquid.

Step 2

Heat oil in a small saucepan and saute garlic and the white part of the green onions. Once garlic is golden, add red chili peppers and saute for about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and Korean red pepper flakes ("gochugaru"). Bring it all to a simmer then add sesame oil.

Step 4

Gently remove the paper towel from your silken tofu container and flip the tofu onto a plate. Top the tofu with 2-3 spoonfuls of the savory sauce and let it drip down the sides of the tofu.

Step 5

Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds before serving with cooked rice.
