Fried tofu in spicy sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tofu is hot<\/em>! Especially now that vegetarian and vegan cuisine is becoming more and more widespread. But did you know that in the Netherlands we are hardly familiar with this Asian delicacy? When we get tofu from the supermarket, it is usually a block or silk tofu, but in Asia you can easily choose from dozens of varieties. As such, it is an indispensable ingredient in Asian cuisine and can be found from simple (street food) snacks to the most upmarket meals. This spicy tofu dish is one for all days, quick to make but also not an everyday dish. Who dares to take the challenge and make and taste this spicy tofu too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy recipe with block of tofu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, I use a firm (organic) tofu that you can just buy in the supermarket. An Asian cook will never see you picking or pulling at a block of tofu, you should treat it with respect and cut it into neat slices, blocks, strips or \u2018buns\u2019. So that's what we are going to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gochugaru, gochu wattes? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this dish, I work with gochugaru<\/a>, a dried and finely ground mixture of red pepper flakes from Korea. I buy this at the toko. Shopping tips for the toko can be found here, by the way.<\/a> This spice is known for its mild spiciness and subtle smoky flavour. It is often used in Korean dishes such as kimchi. If you find this too spicy or don't have it at home, use paprika for this recipe. Want to know more about spices? Then check out these spice tips.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
