1
Slice onion and green onion into fine pieces. Cut tofu into thick slices. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2
Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu slices until golden brown on both sides.
3
Once the tofu is golden brown, scatter the chopped onion and green onion pieces over the tofu.
4
Mix together the sauce ingredients (water, soy sauce, red pepper powder, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic) and pour into the pan.
5
Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce reduces and nearly all the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
6
Turn off the heat. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with sesame seeds and white parts of green onion if desired. Serve and enjoy.
