Ohjeet

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Break the extra-firm tofu by hand into bite-sized pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the tofu with cornstarch, soy sauce, and olive oil until well coated.

Spread the tofu pieces evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, mixing every 10 minutes to ensure even crisping. The tofu should be golden and crispy on the edges.

While the tofu is baking, whisk together gochujang paste, rice vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, sesame oil and maple syrup in a small bowl.

Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the oven.

Drizzle the gochujang lime sauce over the tofu and toss to coat.

Return the tofu to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the tofu and toss one last time. Enjoy the tofu hot from the oven, garnished with chopped coriander and an extra squeeze of lime juice and salt to taste if desired.

Pair with rice, veggies, tacos or add to your favourite grain bowl for a complete meal.
