A delightful dish featuring extra-firm tofu coated in a spicy-sweet gochujang marinade, fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu between paper towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes.
  3. Whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and honey until smooth.
  4. Toss the tofu cubes in the marinade until well-coated and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  5. Dredge each tofu cube in corn starch until lightly coated.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the tofu cubes for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove tofu and wipe out any burnt bits in the pan.
  8. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
  9. Return the crispy tofu to the pan and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  10. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.

Notes

For extra spiciness, increase gochujang or add chili flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
