In this recipe, I was inspired by Korean fried chicken and wanted to try a new way to enjoy the flavors of Gochujang sauce with tofu. The result was a perfectly yummy and healthy dish that is sure to become a new favorite.
These tofu bites are incredibly easy to make and don't take long at all. To prepare the tofu, simply grill it in a pan until it is cooked and crispy. The tofu will have a lightly crispy texture on the outside and a soft texture on the inside.
Then, just add Gochujang sauce over the top of the tofu and stir it together until it's sticky. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and spring onion and enjoy this savory, tangy, spicy, and sweet tofu. It's a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any time of day.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Tofu with Gochujang Sauce:
