Simmered Tofu

• servings: 5 servings

Ingredients

1 package firm tofu (18oz, 510g)

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon mirin

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon red chili powder

2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds

1 green onion chopped

1 to 2 tablespoon oil (to fry)

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the sauce. Put aside. Rinse the block of tofu in water then cut in half. Then cut each half into slices about 1/3 of an inch thick. Remove excess water from each tofu slice with a paper towel.

Heat a pan and add oil. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until each side is lightly golden brown.

When each side is cooked, spoon the sauce over the tofu and boil down the liquid for about 3 minutes or until the liquid is almost gone. You can serve this dish hot or cold with other side dishes and rice.
