Steps
- 01
Cut tofu into 2 cm cubes and pat all sides dry with clean paper towels.
- 02
Stir ketchup, gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and garlic together for a glaze.
- 03
Heat oil over medium heat. Place tofu in a single layer and turn until several sides are golden and the cubes are hot throughout.
- 04
Move tofu to a plate. Reduce heat, briefly warm the sauce until it simmers, then return tofu and gently coat without breaking it.
- 05
Top with optional sesame and green onion. Serve soon after cooking because tofu releases moisture into the glaze.
