Tofu Kimchi

Ingredients

Firm tofu

14 ounces, drained and pressed

Kimchi

1 cup, chopped

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Onion

1 medium, diced

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

2 tablespoons, divided

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon, toasted

Green onions

2, chopped

Instructions

1. Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and the tofu cubes. Cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add a splash of sesame oil if needed, then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld together.
5. Pour in the soy sauce and the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, stirring to combine well.
6. Return the golden-brown tofu to the pan, gently folding it into the kimchi mixture to coat the tofu evenly with the flavors.
7. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra crunch.
