Panfried tofu with spicy sauce (Dubu buchim yangnyumjang)

A spicy Korean vegetarian dish that is yummy in the tummy.

Ingredients:

• Package of tofu (about 15oz) [I prefer soft tofu over firm so I went for the soft]
• soy sauce
• hot pepper flakes
• sugar
• green onion
• garlic
• sesame oil

1. Slice the tofu into bite size pieces (¼ inch thick rectangles). You should get 10 pieces. Towel off each piece with a paper towel.
2. Heat a pan with 1 to 2 tbs of vegetable oil. Add the tofu and lower the heat. Cook over low heat about 5-7 minutes.
3. When the bottom of the tofu looks golden brown, turn it over and cook another 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the cooked tofu to a serving plate.
5. Make your sauce in a small bowl by mixing these ingredients:
   1 clove of minced garlic, 1 chopped green onion, 1 ts hot pepper flakes, 1 ts sugar (or honey), 2 tbs soy sauce, and 2 ts sesame oil
6. Spoon the sauce evenly over the tofu.
7. Serve with rice as a side dish
