This dish is for all our vegetarians and vegans ( or just anyone who enjoys tofu) out there. While we understand that tofu is not an exact meat replacement, it is still a protein that is enjoyed all around the world in different ways. Not only is it completely healthy and delicious, it soaks up any form and sauce you add to it, making it the perfect star of the show.
In this simple recipe, we show you how to make a delicious tofu "steak" by frying the thick cuts of tofu in some fragrant perilla oil, seasoning with only salt and pepper. You could enjoy this with anything you want, but we recommend it with some kimchi for a perfect meal!
