Preparation

  1. Prep Tofu: Remove the tofu from the package and pat dry. Cut into desired cube shapes and divide the tofu between 4 different airtight containers and prepare the accompanying sauces to go with each tofu block.
  2. Add all of the orange gochujang ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together to emulsify. Pour over tofu and allow to sit and marinade for at least an hour
  3. Remove the tofu from the marinade and place on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake in the oven at 425F for 20 minutes or in an air fryer at 400F for 10 minutes. To the leftover marinade add 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water and whisk together to combine.
  4. Heat up a pan over medium low heat and when warm, pour in the marinade and stir to thicken for about 2 minutes. Add in the baked tofu and toss until completely coated in the sauce. Serve your tofu with some pickled or fresh vegetables, rice and kimchi.
