Korean Braised Tofu. I dont have many vegan dishes, but here is one.

spicy, nutty. very good. I rarely get much because my wife eats it while I do dishes.

Is this something you make or are buying? I'd love to know the recipe if you're making it.
i make it. actually have it memorized. i use a wok.

Tofu preparation
cut tofu. i used firm tofu.
pat it dry and pan fry them until they turn kinda golden. i set them aside since i dont want to crowd pan/wok while i cook in batches

Sauce ingredients
3 tablespoons of soy sauce,
3 tablespoons of water. maybe 4
1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
1 tablespoon of sweet mirin.
1/4 tablespoon of sugar
1 heaped tablespoon of Korean chili flake, Gogjajaru (or something)
2 chopped green onions.

Sauce method
mix all ingredients up.

Assembly
now when the tofu is all done, i put them all back into pan/wok, get it hot and dump in the sauce, and it immediately sizzles. toss toss toss toss for about 30 seconds-minute.
plate it up.
garnish with sesame seeds (i always forget this step) and some greens..more green onion tops or cilantro?

Nice, I have all the ingredients except for the Tofu. I may try it this weekend!
Koreans love their green onions, I'm sure its just garnished with more green onions (tops, finely sliced) rather than cilantro.

Yes, of course. The standard format makes for much easier reading across the site, and the “Recipe” (or “Recipe & Video”) prefix helps with searching.

You can click the User Guidelines and Rules link at the bottom of the page; #21 covers recipe formatting. As to the format itself, the easiest thing is to pull up an existing recipe and use that as a guide. It’s a pretty simple format.
 
Gochugaru is the hot chili powder. I'd probably use Gochujang, which is a paste. I think it has more flavor.
