Dubu Buchim (Fried Tofu)
두부부침
Dubu Buchim is one type of Korean side dish that involves tofu and a soy-sauce based seasoning. It can be prepared in several ways, including cooking the tofu in the sauce, or frying the tofu, then serving the sauce on the side to dip. Try it both ways and see what you like better. It's important to use firm tofu in this dish.
Recipe Ingredients:
- Box of firm tofu (dubu 두부) 12 oz
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and sesame oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- Sauce ingredients:
- l/2 tbsp sugar
- l/2 tbsp hot pepper flakes (gochugaru 고추가루)
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 1 tsp sesame seed
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Recipe Steps:
- Cut tofu into flat squares about 1"x2" length and l/2" l/4" thick.
- Sprinkle with dash of salt, and let sit for l/2 hour or so.
- Pat the tofu slices dry with a paper towel, removing the excess water.
- Heat oil on a frying pan, and fry tofu pieces until it gets lightly brown, turn it over and do the same on the other side. Should take 4-5 min each side on a medium heat.
