  • Tofu Texture: For a chewier texture, freeze and thaw the tofu before pressing it.
  • Gochujang: Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as it can be quite spicy.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with jasmine rice, quinoa, or stir-fried vegetables.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Make Ahead: The tofu can be pan-fried ahead of time and added to the sauce when ready to serve.
