Crispy baked tofu bites coated in a sweet and spicy gochujang glaze. Perfect as an appetizer or snack!
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch).
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the tofu is baking, prepare the gochujang glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Once the tofu is baked, remove from the oven and place in a clean bowl.
Pour the gochujang glaze over the tofu and toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Return the glazed tofu to the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes to let the glaze caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
Nutrition per serving (140g)
Pressing the tofu is crucial for getting crispy tofu bites. The drier the tofu, the better it will crisp up.
For extra crispy tofu, you can pan-fry it in a little oil before glazing and baking.
Adjust the amount of gochujang depending on your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
Serve these tofu bites with a side of rice or your favorite dipping sauce for a more complete meal.
