Pat the block of tofu dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Slice into even pieces.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, honey, garlic, green onion, water, and sesame seeds.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add tofu slices and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Pour the sauce over the tofu and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.

Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with extra sesame seeds, and enjoy hot with rice.
