Korean Braised Tofu (Dubu Jorim)

Fry the tofu in oil until golden brown on both sides.

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sesame oil, gochugaru, sugar, half of the sesame seeds, minced garlic, and the white part of the scallion.

Pour the mixture into the pan with the fried tofu and give it a mix to evenly coat all the tofu pieces with the sauce.

Garnish with the green part of the scallion and leftover sesame seeds.
