A delicious plant-based take on the classic Korean BBQ dish, Tofu Bulgogi is quick to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 small onion (grated)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 blocks (350 grams each) extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu: Wrap the extra firm tofu in paper towels and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture.
  2. Mix the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, grated onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Prepare the tofu: Once the tofu is pressed, tear it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Cook the tofu: In a skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, distribute the crumbled tofu evenly in the skillet.
  5. Add the marinade: Pour the marinade over the cooked tofu in the skillet. Stir to coat the pieces evenly and cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your Tofu Bulgogi immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

For more flavor, consider marinating the pressed tofu for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
