Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
-
Place the tofu cubes in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the tofu. Gently toss to coat the tofu evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, or longer if desired, to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu, reserving the marinade for later, and cook until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crisp on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add more oil if needed, and sauté the sliced bell pepper and zucchini until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Pour the reserved marinade into the pan with the vegetables, stirring to coat them well. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Add the cooked tofu back to the pan, stirring gently to combine everything and heat the tofu through.
-
Serve the Korean Spicy Gochujang Tofu over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.
