Step 1
Cut tofu into 4 thick rectangles. Pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt.
Step 2
Heat sesame oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add tofu and pan-fry 3 minutes per side until golden edges form.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and gochugaru, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour soy sauce and 3 tbsp water around the tofu. Simmer 4–5 minutes, spooning sauce over tofu occasionally, until glossy and thickened.
Step 5
Toss acorn jelly with a small pinch of salt and sesame oil in a small bowl. Warm kimchi briefly in a separate small dish.
Step 6
Plate tofu in the center, drizzle with remaining pan sauce. Serve acorn jelly and kimchi on the side.
