Stir Fried Gochujang Sprouts w/ Crispy Tofu 🍚🌱
Paired with crispy tofu, these gochujang glazed sprouts are tender and coated in the most delicious, sweet, savoury, spicy sauce. Perfect served with your choice of rice or noodles, but definitely with a side of funky kimchi - guest ODDBOX chef Storm (@whatstormeats):
Prepare them by…
Give them a wash before use to remove any dirt. Depending on your recipe, you may need to slice or halve the sprouts, or if you are steaming/boiling them, you can cross the base of larger ones to ensure even cooking. Or why not even enjoy them raw!
Serves 2
Prep: 10mins
Cooking: 20 mins
For the tofu & sprouts:
*1 block of Firm tofu
*Approx. 50g of cornflour
*Pinch of salt
*200g Brussel sprouts
Stir fry sauce:
*2 tbsp of Korean gochujang
*2 cloves of garlic
*1 small shallot
*2 tbsp of sesame oil
*1 tbsp of honey
*1 tbsp dark soy sauce
*1 tbsp light soy sauce
*50ml of water
To serve:
*Sesame seeds
*1 sliced spring onion
*Kimchi
1) Start by draining the tofu of all water. You can do this by removing from its packaging and placing a heavy pot on top to squeeze all the water out.
2) Cut the tofu into squares and place into a bowl and sprinkle over the cornflour generously and add a pinch of salt. Toss until each piece is evenly covered.
3) In a pan, heat up vegetable oil and fry off the tofu pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy. Place on a piece of kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.
4) Slice the sprouts in half (or if they are small, you can keep them whole!), composting any yellowing or loose leaves.
5) Remove any excess oil left over from the tofu and add the sliced garlic, shallot with the 1 tbsp of sesame oil. On a high heat, add the sprouts to the pan, move the sprouts around the pan or wok for a few minutes so that they cook evenly.
6) In a bowl, combine 1tsp sesame oil, gochujang, soy sauce & honey with about 50ml of water – this is your stir fry sauce.
Once the sprouts are just cooked, add the tofu back in and pour over the sauce.
7) Plate up the sprouts and tofu, sprinkle over some sesame seeds and sliced spring onion. Best served with white rice or noodles.
