Spicy Gochujang Sesame Tofu (30-min. Recipe)

tofu (extra firm,

green onion (sliced (optional garnish))

vegetable oil

tbsp gochujang

soy sauce (not light or dark!)

tsp gochugaru

tsp sesame oil

sesame seeds

cornstarch

tsp white granulated sugar

Strain the water from your tofu and allow the tofu to sit in a colander for a couple of minutes. Then pat dry with a clean towel. Slice into bite size rectangles.

In a small bowl, whisk together your glaze ingredients until well combined.

Then in a non-stick pan set over medium heat, add your cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully lower tofu into the pan and fry on both sides for 7 minutes, or golden crispy brown.

Once tofu is golden and crispy, pour in the glaze and let it simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until thick, smooth and glossy.

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with green onions (optional).
