Dubu Jorim is a savory Korean tofu dish where golden-fried tofu soaks up a punchy, spicy soy-based sauce.
It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect with a bowl of warm rice.
To make it, slice 1 lb of firm tofu into ¼-inch thick pieces, season lightly, and pan-fry with 1 tbsp oil until golden. In a bowl, mix 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, ½ tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp gochugaru, and ½ cup water. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, ½ chopped onion, and white parts of 2 green onions. Pour over the tofu, cover, and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook another 2–3 minutes until reduced. Finish with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and green onions.
Simple yet packed with flavor—try making it at home! Full cooking video is below for easy reference.
