Ingredients
- 1 pack firm tofu (285g)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes)
- 3 tbsp gochujang sauce (or 1 tbsp gochujiang paste)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- ½ onion (medium) (finely diced)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 spring onions (green onions - thinly sliced)
- ½ cup daikon radish (thinly julienned)
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from the pack and pat dry on paper towels. Divide into around 12 pieces or into thick slices.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, salt, sugar, gochugaru, gochujiang with 3/4 cup water and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a moderate heat until hot.
- Add the tofu and fry for abour 7 minutes each side until the tofu is crisp and brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off the oil until you have about 1 tbsp left, then add the diced onion to the pan. Let this cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion is soft and golden then add the garlic and fry briefly.
- Pour in the chilli sauce and let it come to a sizzle. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces a little - it should have consistency that sticks to the back of a spoon but not too thick.
- Return the tofu to the pan and let it sizzle for another minute. Remove from the heat. Drizzle over the sesame oil and stir well.
- Sprinkle over the spring onion and radish and serve either hot over rice or at room temperature as part of a larger 'banchan' (small plate) feast.
