Ingredients for 2 portions

Method

  1. Use 400 g firm tofu, drained and sliced into roughly 1 cm rectangles; pat the surfaces dry. Have 300 g plain ready-cooked rice refrigerated safely or prepared beforehand. Finely chop 8 g garlic and 40 g spring onion.
  2. Stir 28 g soy sauce, 60 g water, 10 g sesame oil, 8 g sugar, 4 g Korean chilli flakes, 6 g sesame seeds, garlic and half the spring onion together in a small bowl.
  3. Heat 18 g rapeseed oil in a wide non-stick pan over medium heat. Sear the tofu in one layer for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden. If the pan is too small for one layer, use two batches and allow extra time beyond 25 minutes.
  4. Pour the sauce over the tofu and spoon some underneath each piece. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, turn once gently and simmer 1–2 minutes more until coated and hot. Reheat the ready-cooked rice according to its package or safe storage instructions until steaming hot. Divide the rice and tofu between two bowls; finish with the remaining spring onion.

Hyosun’s Korean Bapsang reference serves dubu jorim as a side; including 300 g already-cooked rice makes this a two-person vegan main meal. Cooking rice from dry is outside the 25-minute window, and a small pan may require extra time. Soy sauce and tofu flag soy; soy sauce also flags gluten, while sesame oil and seeds flag sesame. The Commons photo shows the braised tofu alone, with no rice, and its exact sauce composition is unknown. Product labels, cross-contact, calories and timing remain approximate editorial checks.
