Step 1

Place your tofu along with cornstarch and salt into a zip top bag. Toss the bag until the tofu are well coated.

Step 2

Heat up a tablespoon of neutral oil in a non-stick pan / cast iron pan on medium heat. Place the tofu in a layer, and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each sides, or until almost all sides are golden brown. In the meantime, make your sauce by combining gochujang, soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame oil.

Step 3

In the last minute or so of cooking the tofu cubes, stir in garlic. Then, turn off the heat and pour the sauce in. Toss until the sauce is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Top this Korean gochujang tofu with some chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy !
