Recipe Details

A straightforward, vegetarian weeknight dish, this tofu and kimchi braise delivers complex flavors yet can be prepared in a mere 30 minutes. Tofu and kimchi serve as the primary ingredients.

Equally palatable when served warm or at room temperature, this tofu braise is a versatile addition to meal preparation routines. Pair it with rice to absorb the savory kimchi sauce, or nestle the tofu and kimchi into a sandwich.

Store-bought kimchi varies in flavor and salt content; more fermented varieties tend to be softer, juicier, and slightly more tangy. This recipe is adaptable to all fermentation levels, though seasonings should be adjusted to tasteβ€”add sugar for sweetness or extra soy sauce for additional saltiness.
