Gochujang is a delicious Korean sauce that is made from red chili paste and is fermented. It is sweet, spicy, and tangy. I first had gochujang at my favorite Korean restaurant in San Diego. I loved it at first bite and knew I had to create a recipe with it. I made a gochujang sauce and added it to crispy tofu. I paired the tofu with broccoli, cashews, and brown rice to create a delicious bowl full of amazing Korean flavors. This recipe makes 2 bowls.

Ingredients

• 4/5 block firm tofu
• 1 and 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup gochujang
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 head of broccoli
• 1/2 tbsp garlic and ginger
• 1/2 tbsp corn starch

Directions

• press tofu for 15 minutes to remove the water
• add tofu sprinkled with garlic and ginger to the air fryer and fry for 14-16 minutes at 400F
• cut of the broccoli stems then steam in boiling water for 4-5 minutes
• add the gochujang, sesame oil, corn starch, rice vinegar, and soy sauce to a pan and cook until thickens
• once the sauce thickens add in the air fried tofu and leave on low heat until the sauce is absorbed by the tofu
• add rice, tofu, steamed broccoli, and cashews to create the bowl then enjoy
