Ingredients

  • =
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 or 5 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium white onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons kochujang (Korean red chili pepper paste)
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 2/3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 pound broccoli florets
  • 1 pound firm tofu, drained well and sliced

  • 3 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • =

Directions

1

Sauté garlic, carrots and onion in olive oil for several minutes in a large pan.

2

Mix kochujang, cayenne pepper, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl. (Omit cayenne if you want this dish to be mild. The kochujang is, by itself, spicy - and if you like things really spicy, toss in 2 tablespoons of cayenne, or even more.)

3

Add mixture, broccoli, green onions and tofu to pan. Mix gently until vegetables and tofu are covered with pepper sauce.

4

Add water to pan and cover. Let steam for a few minutes.

5

Remove from heat. Add sesame oil; mix gently. Serve hot over rice.
