Styling Tips:

✔️ Make sure the stir-fried kimchi does not touch the tofu, so as to get a neater plating.
✔️ Add spring onions on top of the stir-fried kimchi to make it look prettier.
✔️ Sprinkle white sesame seeds on one side of the tofu and black sesame seeds on the other side to get a more colourful plating arrangement.
