This gently simmered tofu topped with a stir-together sauce is a common banchan. It would also make a great vegetarian main course served with rice. The sauce—speckled with chopped garlic, scallion, sesame seeds, and Korean hot red-pepper flakes—couldn't be simpler or more satisfying. You will want to eat it on everything.

Cooks' notes:

•Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before using.
•Tofu can be kept warm up to 4 hours.
