Lately I've been exploring Korean food. Those guys appreciate chilies! Since everyone here probably knows about kimchi and bulgogi I'll skip over that but perhaps post few other recipes from time to time... MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Fried Beancurd in Red Chile Sauce Categories: Main dish, Tofu, Chinese, Korean, Chilies Yield: 4 Servings 2 tb Korean red chile flakes 2 tb Tamari or soy sauce 1 tb Water 1 ts Sesame oil 1 Garlic clove; minced 3 Scallions; sliced 1 Fresh chile (green or red) -minced 1/2 ts Sugar (optional) 19 oz Tofu, preferably firm Vegetable oil; for frying 1 ts Crushed toasted sesame seeds In a bowl, combine red chiles, tamari or soy sauce, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced scallions, fresh chile and sugar (if using). Set aside until tofu is fried. Cut tofu into serving portions or largish chunks, and pat dry with paper towels. Heat 1 or 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet or wok set over moderately high heat. Fry tofu pieces until golden brown on all sides, turning as necessary. Remove tofu from oil and place in a deep serving dish or shallow bowl. Pour chile mixture over tofu, turning pieces to coat evenly. Sprinkle with crushed toasted sesame seeds and serve warm with hot steamed rice, and assorted vegetable relishes.
