Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a fun night in with a movie. These Spicy Korean Tofu Tacos are a creative twist on traditional tacos, combining the bold flavors of Korean cuisine with a plant-based protein for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• firm tofu (400g)
• corn tortillas (8 pieces)
• spring onions (50g)
• kimchi (100g)
• gochujang (2 tbsp)
• soy sauce (1 tbsp)
• sesame oil (1 tbsp)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• lime (1, juiced)

Kitchen Tools:

• cutting board
• knife
• frying pan
• mixing bowl
• tongs

To start, drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the tofu into cubes and pan-fry them until golden and crisp. In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and lime juice to create a marinade. Toss the fried tofu in the marinade until evenly coated.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry frying pan until soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by layering the marinated tofu, kimchi, sliced spring onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on each tortilla. Serve with some extra lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.

This recipe yields approximately 8 tacos, with each serving weighing around 150g. One serving of these Spicy Korean Tofu Tacos is approximately 200 calories.

Tip: For an extra kick of heat, drizzle some sriracha or sprinkle red chili flakes on top of your tacos before serving. The spiciness pairs perfectly with the tangy kimchi and savory tofu.

I hope you give these Spicy Korean Tofu Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do! Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences and make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
