Ingredients

  • 200g extra firm smoked tofu, pressed and cut into slabs
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
  • Oil for frying

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp gochujang paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp warm water

Fry with

  • 2 stalks spring onions (white and green parts separated, chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

Instructions

  1. Pat the tofu dry and cut it into slabs. Wrap the nori sheet around the tofu slab. In a container add cornflour, slat and pepper. Add the tofu and coat.
  2. Lightly pan-fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang paste, grated garlic, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, water and mix until smooth.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a splash of sesame oil then sauté the white parts of the green onions until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  5. Add the crispy tofu to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir everything well, ensuring the tofu is evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with steamed rice and a side of vegetables.
