Step 1
Press the 14 oz firm tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 cup kimchi and cook over medium heat until fragrant and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Return tofu to the skillet, add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir gently to coat, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 5
Slice 3 green onions thinly. Sprinkle over the dish before serving.
