Instructions

  1. 1

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and honey/maple syrup to create the glaze.

    ~3 min
  3. 3

    Thread the tofu cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each cube.

    ~5 min
  4. 4

    Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil (if needed).

  5. 5

    Place the tofu skewers in the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly golden.

    ~10 min
  6. 6

    Brush the gochujang glaze generously over the tofu skewers on all sides. Cook for another 1-2 minutes per side, allowing the glaze to caramelize.

    ~5 min
  7. 7

    Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the tofu in the glaze for at least 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spice level according to your preference.
