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

Preparation

  • 1.

    Press the tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into squares.

  • 2.

    In a mixing bowl, combine chopped kimchi, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, gochujang, and ginger. Set aside.

  • 3.

    Take a tofu square and create a pocket by slicing it halfway through, making sure not to cut all the way.

  • 4.

    Stuff the tofu pockets with the kimchi mixture, pressing gently to seal.

  • 5.

    In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and water to create a batter.

  • 6.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

  • 7.

    Dip 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.

  • 8.

    Remove from oil and let them drain on paper towels.

  • 9.

    Cut each pocket in half to expose the filling, garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro, and serve warm.
