Dubu gui

Method

1. 1 Cut the tofu into 2 cm thick slices, then press them between two layers of paper under a heavy weight for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Pressing out the water is a mandatory step; if the beans still contain a lot of water, the outer surface will not dry out and will crack on the tray.
3. 3 Brush a thin layer of sesame oil on both sides of the tofu slices.
4. 4 Grill or pan-fry for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5. 5 Mix soy sauce with gochugaru, garlic, green onions, sugar, and sesame oil to make yangnyeomjang sauce.
6. 6 Pour the sauce over the hot beans, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
