Ingredients:
For the Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) light soy sauce or shoyu
• ¼ cup (60 ml) water
• 2 teaspoons (8 g) sugar
• 2 teaspoons (5 g) minced garlic (about 2 medium cloves)
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) roasted sesame oil
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon (8 g) gochugaru (Korean chile flakes), more or less as desired
• Big pinch of toasted sesame seeds
For the Tofu:
• One 12-ounce (340 g) block firm tofu, cut into ½-inch slabs
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) peanut, rice bran, or other neutral oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, minced garlic, roasted sesame oil, sliced scallion, gochugaru, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
2. Slice and Blanch the Tofu: Place the tofu slices in a colander or fine-mesh strainer set in your sink, laying them out in as close to a single layer as possible. Bring a pot or kettle full of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the tofu slices, then let the tofu slices cool and air-dry for a few minutes.
3. Fry the Tofu: Heat a wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Reduce the heat to medium, add the oil, and swirl to coat. Add the tofu pieces in a single layer and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
4. Add the Sauce: Remove the oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the sauce, and stir gently. Cook until the sauce is reduced to a syrupy glaze that coats each piece of tofu, about 2 minutes.
5. Serve: Plate the tofu and garnish with additional scallions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Dubu Jorim!

This was a great demonstration of Kenji's recipe. I'll definitely give this a try!
Thank you so much -- I hope you like it! It's definitely worth adding to my rotation.
that looked delicious!
Thank you - it really was!
It must have been a huge relief having a J. Kenji Lopez Alt recipe selected after all the fun you had trying the Betty Crocker curry, lol!
I love the food lab but I haven't looked at The Wok yet, since I don't own a wok but this looks like something that I could try in a regular frying pan.
Lots of great techniques! Loved the cats tongue one, especially with you're little helper there 😺
This was so, so much better :) I've only recently begun exploring Korean flavors, so this recipe was totally new to me. Kenji's little tricks helped make it easy, and it's going to be fun exploring the rest of the book with my trusty cheap little wok!
Good job! They kinda look like seared spam in the photos.
Thank you! They looked even more like spam in person 😃

Hello! Thank you so much for joining me. I've never had a Polish dish I haven't enjoyed.
