Steps
Prepare the soft tofu by chopping it into bite-sized pieces or thick slices. Arrange the tofu on a serving plate.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 3 tablespoons of water.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic to the bowl.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar (or allulose), 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of Korean red pepper flakes (if using). This forms the base of the sauce.
Finely chop the scallions, onion, and jalapeño pepper.
Add the chopped scallions, onion, and jalapeño to the sauce mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour the prepared sauce generously over the chopped tofu. Serve immediately.
Notes
This dish is meant to be served cold or at room temperature. For a lower calorie version, use allulose instead of sugar. The red pepper flakes (gochugaru) provide heat but are optional if you prefer a milder dish.
