Braised Tofu

Drain tofu and then set in a strainer to remove excess liquid. While tofu is straining, work on the sauce.

In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, chili pepper and honey.

Coat a large frying pan with oil and turn heat to medium high.

Pat tofu dry with a paper towel and cut each block of tofu into 12 pieces. Carefully place cut tofu in a single layer into the hot pan, cook for about 5-6 minutes or until slightly brown. Carefully flip tofu and cook the other sides until slightly brown, about another 6-10 minutes. Add marinade and carefully coat the tofu with the marinade. Turn heat down to medium and let cook for another 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to absorb into the tofu.

Serve tofu and sauce with rice. You can garnish the dish with chives or green onions.
