I got this recipe from a random German lady in a gaming community and its never let me down:
Mix the following in a small bowl: -1 finely cut scallion -2 tbsp soy sauce -1 tbsp mirin -1 tbsp sugar -0.5 tsp minced garlic -0.5 tsp minced ginger -1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted or untoasted) -1tsp Korean chili flakes
as for me, I also add like a teaspoon of Korean chili paste I also have a ginger/garlic paste from the Asia store which I like to use if I don't have fresh ginger and it's just as good! This is for 200grams of Tofu The Tofu should be a firm sort, drain it a bit and then cut to slices Put in a pan with oil and fry 5 min, then turn around and fry again for 5 min, it should have a crunchy texture Add the stuff you mixed in the bowl and let it simmer for 3 min, that's it!
I usually put it on a bed of salad (mangold, rucola and fresh spinach go so well) which I mixed with only a bit of a light dressing on oil base (like this time I made one of olive oil, herbal vinegar, salt, pepper, honey and rough-grained mustard) But a simple herbal dressing from the bottle is fine too, I just think the sour/herbal taste goes really well with the tofu and you don't even need anything else with it! so if you prepare the sauce and salad as the tofu fries, you really only spend 15min in the kitchen for it

I love the tahini in this. It gives the dish a nice nutty creaminess and adds even more protein. The prep takes some time, but the actual cooking process is pretty quick and easy - and all of the ingredients can be found at your average grocery store.
Oh, I also add thinly sliced bell peppers and carrots 👌🏻

1 // DUBU JORIM drain, pat dry, cut into squares, salt, set aside. finely dice jalapeno, yellow onion, garlic - mix with soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, gochugaru, bit of water. fry the tofu til golden brown on both sides, add the sauce. garnish with green onions.
2 // AIR FRY CRISPY TOFU drain, pat dry, cut into cubes, place cubes in a large mixing bowl. add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, honestly whatever else you feel like, splash of soy sauce, nutritional yeast OR cornstarch (the nutritional yeast does add a nutty cheesyness to it though). make sure the tofu is evenly coated. air fry at 400 for 10 mins, shake it, another 10 mins, shake it, and then another 5 ish (just keep an eye on how crispy it’s getting and stop when it’s to your preference). eat as snack or as salad topping!
3 // LAZY & ODEN STYLE drain, pat dry, cut into cubes. in a pot, add water (however much you want to make as soup), instant dashi broth, fish cakes, maybe some chopped napa cabbage, and the tofu. eat when everything is boiling.

the only thing I make where I'm like, yeah I can just straight up eat this whole block of tofu. take silken tofu (i usually do straight out of the fridge or shelf stable packaging), put some green onions, garlic, chili (flakes, crisp, whatever), soy sauce, sugar, and pour hot oil over top. kind of feels like a science experiment and takes 10 mins to make. ingredients don't have to be particular, sometimes I just do cold chili crisp or ginger scallion oil on the tofu. good over rice with stir fry veggies or by itself I linked a recipe from Sarah's Vegan Kitchen, she has a lot of cheap, easy, filling, vegan recipes

I saw a picture of this bird from Hawaii and i thought he looked cute. I guess they are endangered which is a bummer.
