This Sweet, Spicy, and Crispy Korean Tofu is one of my favorite Tofu recipes. The sweet and spicy flavors are addicting and beyond satisfying. I love my Tofu to be lightly crispy outside and still taste soft inside – the perfect texture. Once started, you can’t stop eating. Each bite is inviting. This Korean Tofu is perfect as a side dish or a delightful meal for dinner. Either way, your family will make them disappear quickly—and then ask for more.
The recipe is quick and easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. If you are a fan of Tofu, this is must-try! For a Chinese style Tofu, you can check out my Easy Fried Tofu with Green Onions og The Devil’s Mapo Tofu opskrifter
TOFU
As Tofu needs to be fried in oil, I highly recommend that you use the less fragile Firm or Extra Firm Tofu. I’ve tried both kinds and they are perfect for frying. To reach a nice crispy texture, I use the double-fry method, which I also like to use in my fried chicken recipes (e.g. Honningsmurt koreansk stegt kylling med mandler).
THE SWEET AND SPICY SAUCE
The Sweet and Spicy Sauce is made of Ketchup, Light Syrup, Gochujang, and a little amount of Vegetable Oil. You can substitute the Light Syrup with Rice Syrup or 3 tablespoons of Brown Sugar.

- 1/4 kop Lys Sirup
- 2 Spsk. Gochujang
- 1 tsk Vegetabilsk olie
- 2 Forårsløg, hakket

Sådan gør du
- Use a Kitchen Towel to press and dry the Tofu. Cut the Tofu in small pieces. Put them on a Kitchen Towel to get rid of extra liquid.
- In a small bowl, add the Cornstarch. Coat the Tofu one piece at a time. Shake off extra starch. Set aside.
- In a frying pan, add the Vegetable Oil, on medium-high heat. Add in the Tofu pieces one at a time making sure to keep them separated so that they don’t stick together. Fry the Tofu on both sides for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden brown. Drain and remove.
- Do a Second Fry of the Tofu for another 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
- In another frying pan, add in 1 tsp Vegetable Oil, Ketchup, Light Syrup, and Gochujang, on medium-high heat. Stir well until the sauce starts to boil.
- Add in the fried Tofu. Coat well with the sauce. The sauce will thicken up and get sticky.
- Garnish with chopped Green Onions and Sesame Seeds. Ready to serve!

Noter
- When frying the Tofu, for an extra crunchiness, increase the frying time by a minute or two!
