Spicy Korean Fried Chicken-Style Tofu
Author: Jules
Recipe type: vegan meat, lunch, dinner, tofu recipe
Serves: 2
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- ¼ cup almond flour OR bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Sauce
- 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean red hot pepper paste)
- ½ tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp garlic powder (or you can use 1 clove of fresh minced garlic)
- Press your tofu to take out some of the liquid for about 10-20 minutes… I’ll be honest, I rarely do this because I don’t have the patience.
- Cut up your tofu into small bite sized pieces.
- Add your tofu pieces into a mixing bowl and add in soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar. Mix until well combined.
- Toss your tofu pieces with almond flour or bread crumbs until each piece is nicely coated.
- Add into your air fryer at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes – moving them around at around the halfway point to make sure they cook evenly.
- While your tofu is in the air fryer, you can prepare the sauce by adding all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mixing very well.
- When your tofu is finished, mix in the sauce and sesame seeds (optional) so that the tofu is nicely coated in the delicious red sauce.
- Now you can enjoy….!!! Warning: these are ridiculously addictive!
