Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp keto-friendly gochujang paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
Directions
Step 1
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap the tofu block in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the tofu is pressing, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the keto-friendly gochujang paste, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
Step 3
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Turn them periodically to ensure even browning.
Step 5
Pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the browned tofu. Gently toss the tofu cubes in the sauce until they are evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and adheres to the tofu.
Step 6
Remove from heat and transfer the tofu to a serving dish.
Step 7
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side of steamed low-carb vegetables or cauliflower rice.
