Time 1 hour

Serving 4–6

Ingredients
  • 14 oz firm tofu, cubed
  • 10 Medium Garlic Cloves, Minced
  • 3 Medium Carrots, Peeled And Sliced ½ Inch Thick On The Diagonal
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces
  • ¼ Cup Mirin
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Gochujang
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Gochugaru Or Sweet Paprika
  • Kosher Salt And Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Bunch Scallions, Cut Into 1-inch Length

Step 1
In a large Dutch oven, stir together the tofu, potatoes, garlic, carrots, onion, mirin, gochujang, soy sauce, gochugaru, ½ teaspoon pepper and 3 cups water. Cover partially and bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Reduce to medium and cook, stirring, until a skewer inserted into the potatoes and carrots meets no resistance and the cooking liquid is slightly reduced, 35 to 40 minutes.

Off heat, stir in the scallions. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
