Steps to make Easy and Inexpensive but Yummy Panfried Tofu with Gochujang:
- The ingredients.
- Boil the silken tofu first. By boiling, it firms and hardens a bit, and becomes easier to handle.
- Cut the tofu in half horizontally, and slice about 1.5 cm thick. Place the slices for a while on a tilted cutting board. Drain the tofu well.
- By draining out the water, the tofu flavor becomes more concentrated and delicious To finish draining the tofu, wrap it gently and paper towels and press lightly.
- Let's make the sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients. I used a finely ground chili powder this time, but coarsely ground chili pepper is fine too. Mix very well.
- Put a generous amount of sesame oil in a large frying pan and heat over low. (The oil will be wiped out later, so it's OK to add a lot here).
- Coat both sides of the tofu with katakuriko. Shake off the excess, and pan fry over medium heat. Use a big frying pan to keep the pieces from sticking to each other.
- When the tofu is golden brown, wipe off the excess oil in the frying pan with paper towels Otherwise the finished dish will be kind of oily.
- When both sides are browned (and the surface has hardened), add half the sauce to the frying pan.
- Swirl the frying pan to coat the tofu with the sauce. When the sauce is bubbling and has started to thicken, turn the tofu pieces over.
- Add the rest of the sauce. Swirl the frying pan again to coat the tofu with the sauce.
- When the tofu has been coated with the sauce, it's done. It took 5 minutes maybe? Add some green onions or something as garnish. This dish is so good.
- I can eat 3 entire bowlfuls of rice with it. It's also great as a drinking appetizer too. Don't drink too much.
- Korean chili pepper is not too hot and has a sweet aroma, so use it for this recipe.
