• Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch slices.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Let the salted tofu stand for a few minutes.
• Using a paper towel, pat the tofu dry.
• Mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, pepper, green onions, garlic, and water in a 1-cup measuring cup.
• Stir this sauce until the sugar dissolves.
• Swirl the oil in a large skillet.
• Heat over medium-high heat.
• Fry the tofu slices until golden brown, turning once.
• One by one, dip the fried tofu slices in the sauce and return them to the skillet, making layers.
• Pour the rest of the sauce over the tofu.
• Cook the tofu and sauce over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the tofu soaks up the sauce.
• Serve with rice, vegetables, and salad.

Korean Harmony:

• The mild, cream-colored bean curd called tofu takes readily to the typical Korean flavorings: garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, and soy sauce.
