Kimchi Tofu is a vibrant and flavorful Korean dish that combines the spicy tang of fermented kimchi with the silky texture of tofu. This Paleo-friendly recipe is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect main dish for health-conscious eaters.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Kimchi - 150 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Press the firm tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Stir gently to avoid breaking the tofu.
