Gather @firm tofu{400%g}, @toasted sesame seed{1%tsp} and @vegetable oil{3%tbsp}.

Press the tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to push out excess @water{150%ml}, then slice into slabs about 1cm thick. ~{10%minutes}

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tofu slabs until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. ~{6%minutes}

Whisk the @soy sauce{4%tbsp}, @sugar{1.5%tbsp}, @gochugaru{1%tsp}, @garlic{3%clove} and water together to make the sauce.

Pour the sauce over the seared tofu, bring to a simmer, and spoon it over the slabs as it reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Remove from the heat once the sauce clings glossy to the tofu.

Scatter with @spring onion{2%stalk} and sesame seeds, and serve warm or at room temperature as a side.
