Preparation Steps

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

2

Add the pressed and cubed tofu to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.

3

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

4

Add the marinated tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

5

Remove the tofu from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

6

In a small bowl, combine the cooked tofu with the chopped kimchi. Gently toss to combine.

7

Arrange the Kimchi and Tofu Bites on a serving platter.

8

Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

9

Serve immediately.
