Sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang paste

Preparation
Cut pressed tofu in cubes and marinate overnight in the listed ingredients.
Mix together cornflour, salt, and panko in a bowl. Roll each piece of tofu in the mixture to coat and fry in oil until crispy. Alternatively, bake tofu in a preheated oven at 180C for 20-30 minutes.
Mix all the listed ingredients for sauce together. Heat sesame oil in pan and add sauce to it. Cook on medium heat until sauce comes to a simmer and thickens. Add crispy tofu pieces to the sauce and gently mix to cover all sides.
