Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

2

Make the Sauce

In a bowl, mix together red chili paste, white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.

3

Cook the Tofu

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

4

Combine

Add the sauce to the skillet with the tofu. Stir well to coat the tofu evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
