Braised Spicy Tofu

Always pan-fry tofu until golden before adding braising sauce — the crust seals in moisture while creating surface area for the sauce to cling to.

Pan-frying tofu before braising is the key step — it removes excess moisture and creates a firm, slightly chewy skin that absorbs the spicy soy braising sauce without falling apart.

Once you know this: Any firm tofu + soy sauce 2 : gochugaru 1 : garlic + water → spicy braised tofu. Pan-fry first, braise second — this two-step works for tempeh, eggplant, or mushrooms too.
