Description
A vibrant, flavor-packed dish featuring crispy tofu marinated in spicy gojuchang, complemented by fresh edamame, crisp vegetables, and a wholesome grain base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block Firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Gojuchang
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 cup Edamame
- 1 cup Rice or quinoa
- 1 Cucumber, sliced
- 2 Carrots, shredded
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess water and ensure it crisps up nicely. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- In a bowl, mix gojuchang with soy sauce and marinate the tofu cubes for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the marinated tofu until crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the edamame according to package instructions. Prepare rice or quinoa as a base for the bowl. Assemble by placing rice or quinoa at the bottom, topping it with crispy tofu, edamame, sliced cucumber, and shredded carrots. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, try double frying the tofu for an even crispier texture. Feel free to substitute quinoa with brown rice or another grain of your choice.
