Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add the cubed tofu to the skillet in a single layer. Allow the tofu to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side. Then, gently turn the tofu cubes to brown on the other sides. This will take about 6-8 minutes in total.
-
Push the tofu to one side of the pan and add the sesame oil, garlic, and chopped kimchi to the other side. Saute the kimchi and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
-
Mix the kimchi and tofu together in the pan. Add soy sauce, gochujang, and sugar. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
-
If the mixture appears a bit dry, you can add a splash of water to create a bit of sauce. Stir in half of the chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
-
Serve the Tofu Kimchi Stir Fry hot over a bowl of steamed rice. Garnish with the remaining green onions and more sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor.
