Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preparation Stage
Step 2
First, prepare the ingredients for the dish. Cut the radish into four pieces to fit the bottom of the clay pot. Slice the tofu into about 1.5-2cm thick pieces. Seed the red chili pepper and chop it finely. In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients (1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 0.5 Tbsp corn syrup, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil) and mix well to make the sauce.
Step 3
Place the prepared radish slices at the bottom of the clay pot. This prevents the tofu from sticking and burning, and adds a subtle sweetness.
Step 4
Arrange the sliced tofu nicely over the radish, and evenly drizzle half of the prepared sauce over the tofu.
Step 5
Place the remaining tofu on top, and pour the rest of the sauce over it. Finally, garnish with the chopped red chili pepper and green onion.
Step 6
Now, place the clay pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently until the liquid is reduced by about half. To prevent the sauce from burning, you can gently shake the pot or ladle some of the sauce over the tofu periodically.
Step 7
When the sauce has thickened to your liking, your delicious clay pot braised tofu in soy sauce is complete! Enjoy it warm for a delightful combination of soft tofu and savory sauce.
