Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 1 cup kimchi, chopped
- 1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- 1Press the tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into squares.
- 2In a mixing bowl, combine chopped kimchi, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, gochujang, and ginger. Set aside.
- 3Take a tofu square and create a pocket by slicing it halfway through, making sure not to cut all the way.
- 4Stuff the tofu pockets with the kimchi mixture, pressing gently to seal.
- 5In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and water to create a batter.
- 6Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- 7Dip each stuffed tofu pocket into the batter and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 8Remove from oil and let them drain on paper towels.
- 9Cut each pocket in half to expose the filling, garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro, and serve warm.
