Korean Tofu is spicy and delicious, with the distinct flavor of Gochujang, a Korean chili paste. Serve over rice with a vegetable side or add to a Bibimbap bowl. This spicy tofu recipe is absolutely addicting!
Add the tofu to a bowl along with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Gently mix to combine.
Place the tofu on a lined baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes turn up the heat to 425F or 220C and bake for another 5 minutes. (If you're making this in the air fryer, simply cook for 10 minutes at 400F or 200C).
While the tofu is baking, add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.
Heat a skillet over medium. Add the sauce and the tofu. Gently combine until the tofu is fully coated. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and sticky.
Serve over rice with diced green onions and sesame seeds as a garnish.
I use super firm tofu, which comes vacuum sealed and doesn't need to be pressed. If you can only find firm or extra-firm tofu, you will want to press the tofu for 15 to 30 minutes before cubing it.
