Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Tofu
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and gochujang (if using). Reserve a small amount for glazing later.
Coat the Tofu
In a separate bowl, toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.
Fry the Tofu
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tofu cubes and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Glaze the Tofu
In the same pan, reduce the heat and add the reserved marinade. Add the fried tofu and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Serve
Serve the glazed tofu with pickled radish on the side.
