    I made this today and it was delicious. One change I made is to bake the tofu instead of fry it. That way you don't have to deal with the hassle of putting it on a cooling rack and getting rid of the excess oil. What I did is put the tofu pieces into a ziploc bag, shake up some corn starch into it, then add oil and shake that up in the bag too. Then bake at 400F for 30 mins

    OMG I just did this now with a few alterations: chilli flakes instead of gochagaru, 3 garlic and a knob of ginger both minced.

    In my house 7 cloves of garlic IS a normal amount lol. (Part Portuguese.) I’m glad I found your channel because I have everything you use in my pantry already. I typically get smoked tofu (because it’s super-firm without draining) and I think either that or tempeh (minus the starch) would be delicious in the same sauce. Even if the tempeh was less crispy.

I place about 1TBSP of Braggs Soy Sauce or soy sauce of your choosing. in a bowl with 1TBSP cooking oil. I add the cubed tofu and coat it. Then I sprinkle 1TBSP of cornstarch over the tofu and toss it well. IYou will find the cornstarch melts into the tofu. Add to your hot air fryer basket.
