Spicy Korean Gochujang Tofu Scramble Recipe
I decided to share a recipe after quite a while. They’re a little more time consuming than my usual posts so I don’t share them often. But I really wanted to share this spicy Korean gochujang tofu scramble recipe because it’s so delicious and easy to make. I make this often and it’s one of my favourite recipes. I would really recommend trying it out. It’s probably nothing like traditional Korean food but it was inspired by Korean food.
I would also recommend checking out the video version of this recipe if you’re interested. It’s probably a little easier to follow:
Ingredients
1 block of tofu
Soy sauce
Gochujang
Red pepper flakes or ground red pepper or paprika
Ketchup
1 white onion
Seasame seeds
Spicy pepper
Salt (optional)
Directions
- Heat a little bit of oil on a non-stick pan for a minute and then add in some scrambled tofu. You can crush the tofu roughly with your hands till it has a scrambled texture/look.
- Let it cook till it starts to get golden brown.
- Chop one onion and add to the scramble and let it cook with the tofu.
- It should look golden brown like this when it’s done.
- Mix one tbsp of gochujang (or however much you prefer if you would like to add a bit more or less depending on your spice tolerance), 1 tsp of light soy sauce or liquid aminos, red pepper flakes or red pepper powder (optional), 2 tsps of water, one or two spicy peppers chopped into small pieces and the secret ingredient- one tsp of ketchup. It really helps bring out that sweet and sour flavour. Add more water if you want it to be less salty and vice versa.
- Add the sauce to the tofu and onions and let it cook till everything is well coated and the sauce has thickened up.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and/or green onions. Serve with rice and kimchi (optional) or seaweed (optional).
