Spicy Korean Tofu Wraps

Ingredients

Extra firm tofu

14 ounces, pressed and sliced

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Sesame oil

2 tablespoons

Gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Fresh ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Rice vinegar

1 tablespoon

Sugar

1 teaspoon

Tortilla wraps

4 large

Lettuce leaves

1 cup, washed and dried

Cucumber

1 cup, julienned

Carrots

1 cup, julienned

Green onions

1/4 cup, sliced

Toasted sesame seeds

2 tablespoons (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sugar until well combined to create the marinade.
2. Place the sliced tofu in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a more intense flavor.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
4. Take a tortilla wrap and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a layer of lettuce leaves in the center, followed by the marinated tofu, julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, and sliced green onions.
5. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch.
6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
7. Repeat with the remaining tortilla wraps and ingredients until all are used.
8. Serve the spicy Korean tofu wraps immediately, with extra gochujang sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
