Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 Block of tofu (Medium, firm and extra firm will all work)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 12 Tbsp. oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Brown rice syrup or any sweetener
  • 2 Tbsp. Peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Miso paste
  • 2 tsp. Korean red pepper paste (gochujang)
  • 1 tsp. Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds
  • 2 Cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Onion, diced
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the tofu into whatever shape you like, for this recipe, I like to slice the tofu block lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch slices.
  2. Dredge each piece of tofu in the cornstarch. The tofu should be a bit wet on the surface, so the cornstarch shouldn’t have any trouble sticking to the tofu.
  3. Heat 1-2 tbs oil in a large non-stick pan. Arrange the tofu in a single layer and fry until crispy then flip and fry the other side until crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients to make a sauce.
  5. Once the tofu is cooked, add the sauce into the pan with the tofu and saute until the sauce has thickened, garnish with green onions and serve.
