Tofu Dishes

Tofu with Kimchi is a simple and flavorful Korean dish that pairs plain or lightly pan-fried tofu with spicy, fermented kimchi. The tofu's mild taste balances the strong, tangy flavors of the kimchi. It is often served warm with a drizzle of sesame oil and sprinkled with green onions or sesame seeds. This dish is commonly enjoyed as a side dish (banchan) or a light meal.
