Recipe
Gochujang Honey Tofu
Put on Gochujang Honey Tofu when you want something spicy and the evening is already moving.
You'll taste the Extra-firm tofu and Cornstarch first.
Plan on about 30 minutes, most of it hands-off.
Ingredients
- 300 g Extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil
- Crushed black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Light soy sauce (sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp Dark soy sauce (sauce)
- 1 tbsp Honey (sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp Chili onion crunch (sauce)
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (sauce), or less to taste
- 1 tbsp Gochujang (sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp Sesame oil, for frying garlic + green onion
- Garlic and green onion
Steps
- Tap the tofu dry with a paper towel, then toss with the marinade ingredients.
- Air fry at 400 F for 12-15 min.
- Fry the garlic and green onion in the sesame oil, then add the sauce ingredients and warm through.
- Simmer the tofu in the sauce only 1-2 min - longer makes it soggy.
