Tofu

Kimchi and Vegetables

Method

Preparing Tofu

  1. 1

    Drain and Slice Tofu

    Remove the firm tofu from its packaging, drain any excess water, and slice it into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook Tofu

    In a non-stick pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced tofu and sprinkle with salt. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing Spicy Pork

  1. 3

    Cook Pork Belly

    In the same pan used for tofu, add the pork belly over medium heat. Cook until the pork is browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Seasonings

    Once the pork is cooked, add the minced garlic, Korean red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pork is well-coated with the spicy sauce.

  3. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the spicy pork and remove from heat.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine Kimchi and Vegetables

    In a bowl, mix the napa cabbage kimchi, chopped green onions, and julienned carrot until well combined.

  2. 7

    Serve

    On a serving plate, arrange the crispy tofu slices, top them with the spicy pork mixture, and finally add the kimchi and vegetable mix on the side. Enjoy your Tofu Kimchi!
