How to Make Spicy Tofu Kimchi Over Rice

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 scallions (chopped) to the hot oil. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or vegan oyster sauce alternative).
  5. Sauté for 2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the tofu.
  6. Stir in 1 cup pureed kimchi and ½ cup water.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. (Optional) Gently crack 1 egg into the mixture and stir gently until cooked to your liking.
  9. Serve the spicy tofu kimchi mixture over 2 cups cooked rice. Garnish with extra scallions if desired.
