  • 2 tbsp fermented black bean paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)

Notes

For texture, you can swap tofu with tempeh or seitan. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Roasting veggies beforehand adds a smoky depth, turning this dish into a comforting meal that all will enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; gently reheat with a splash of water. Adjust seasoning to your preference, and don’t hesitate to add some heat with chili flakes if that's your style!
