Experience the delight of spicy and crispy nuggets that bring the bold flavors of Korea to your dinner table tonight!
Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Once the tofu is ready, cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge each tofu piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil for deep frying, about 3-4 centimeters deep.
Fry the tofu pieces in batches until they're golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Once crispy, remove the tofu nuggets from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In a clean pan, add the prepared sauce over medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Toss the crispy tofu nuggets in the sauce until they are well-coated.
Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
