Korean BBQ Marinated Tofu with Sesame Spinach

Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into ½ inch thick slices.

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to create the Korean BBQ marinade.

Add the tofu slices to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours in the refrigerator for a more intense flavor.

While the tofu marinates, prepare the sesame spinach. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 30-60 seconds, until wilted and bright green.

Immediately drain the spinach and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out any excess water.

In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sesame seeds. Mix well.

Preheat your grill to medium heat or heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Grill or pan-fry the marinated tofu for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Serve the grilled or pan-fried Korean BBQ tofu immediately with a side of sesame spinach. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
