Take tofu out of package and pat dry.

Pat dry the tofu then season each piece with a pinch of salt. (The salt will help draw out more moisture.)

Place tofu over a wire rack and set in fridge for an hour or until ready to fry.

For the Sauce:

1

Fry the garlic in butter until fragrant, then add gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and water. Simmer for 3 minutes or until desired consistency.

3 cloves garlic (diced)

b

1 tsp butter

g

1 ½ tbsp gochujang

s

1 tbsp soy sauce

h

1 ½ tbsp honey

s

1 tsp sesame oil

w

¼ cup water

2

Pre-heat oil to 350°F, then pat dry each piece of tofu again before carefully dropping them into the hot oil. Gently separate the pieces if they start to stick together.

3

Once golden brown (5-10 minutes), remove tofu from oil and immediately coat in the sauce to retain as much crispiness as possible.

4

For the Topping:

1

Top with sesame seeds and green onions.
