Instructions

Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
~2 min - 3
Add the tofu cubes to the glaze and gently toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
~10 min - 4
Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers.
~3 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the tofu skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and heated through.
~10 min - 6
While the tofu is grilling, place the fresh spinach in a large bowl. Drizzle with a teaspoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and toss to combine.
~2 min - 7
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the spinach.
~1 min - 8
Serve the gochujang glazed tofu skewers immediately with the sesame spinach.
Tips
- For best results, use extra-firm tofu and press it well to remove as much water as possible. This helps the tofu absorb the glaze and get a better sear on the grill.
- If you don't have a grill, you can bake the tofu skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
