Bulgogi-Style Tofu Recipe (2024)

To get the tofu extra crispy, after marinading, toss in 2-3tbsp cornstarch and either roast or airfry at 400 for 15-17 min.

Here’s the proportions that I used, which fits my preferred flavor palate-1/4 cup soy sauce2 tbsp gochujang2 tbsp brown sugar1 tbsp canola oil1/2 tsp sesame oil1 clove of garlic1 inch gingerSesame seeds sprinkled in

For those wanting recipe amounts, in the third sentence of the introduction the word bulgogi is underlined. This is a link to a marinade recipe. Here Sam uses tofu instead of the beef and leaves out the Asian pear and onion. This recipe is what I used for amounts. Enjoy!

Has anyone ever put tofu in the freezer overnight?The ice crystals that form when frozen -thaw- and extract the water from within the tofu. You can squeeze the tofu like a sponge and it will expel the majority of the water.

I regularly cook tofu slabs in the air fryer. Coated w/seasoned panko, 400F for about 10 minutes, flip them, and another 10 minutes.Crunchy and creamy at the same time

I read in notes for another recipe about microwaving tofu to get the water out. I just tried it! I put slices of tofu on high in the microwave for about 4 minutes and it squeezed out a lot of water so no pressing required.

This was lovely. I made a large batch of marinade and divided it between tofu and shrimp to please multiple eating styles. Served in butter lettuce cups over mango quinoa with cilantro. Served with kimchi and sriracha Mayo, and spring rolls. Chilled soju.

I need to know how much to add of each ingredient, or at least a ballpark...Help?

Cooked it at 400 on top of a rack nested on a cookie sheet, 15 mins then turned for another 15. Couldn’t stop eating them.

Definitely toss with cornstarch. Then use the marinade as a sauce for stir-fried veggies brightened with oj, and thickened with cornstarch. This is a keeper!!

MG I use to cook my tofu in the oven however I now only use my air fryer I absolutely love the crispiness it provides as well as it being done a lot faster. I set mine to the poultry setting, It seems to come out the most crispy on that one

I also shredded some carrots on a box grater which added a nice bit of texture.My marinade recipe -- 4 garlic cloves grated1 inch ginger grated1 scallion chopped2 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp sesame oil1 tbsp brown sugar1/2 tsp black pepper1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Anyone try this in an air fryer?

Hands down the best tofu I've ever made. Added red miso to the marinade and took people's advice to toss in Cornstarch before baking at 400 for a while. Was so flavorful. Used extra marinade to make a sauce and had it with noodles. Yummo!

Roasted eggplant and possibly soy curls (like unprocessed tofu) in place of tofu. Terrific.

Sauce:which fits my preferred flavor palate-1/4 cup soy sauce2 tbsp gochujang1 tbsp brown sugar1 Tbsp canola oil1 tbsp sesame oil3 clove of garlic-3 “cloves” Trader Joe’s garlic3 cubes ginger Trader Joe’s Doubled above recipe (heavy on the gochujang) and then Marinaded for 3 hours. Cooked in the air frier 3 batches, each for 7-10 min at max heat (390°)Served with asparagus made with black pepper tofu and asparagus recipe

Made this with tempeh - very good.

Made this for dinner tonight. Easy, delicious, and fun to eat. Romantic even. Licking of fingers. Smacking of lips. Sauteed a Bosc pear in the pan after the tofu. Added and reduced the marinade to get the pears brown and sticky. A sprinkle to sesame seeds and scallions. Eaten with lettuce cups and rice stir fried with green peas, black garlic, and scrambled egg. Pickled ginger on the side.

Just pointing out this would work equally well with soy curls, which don’t have all the extra ingredients tofu has. They’re on Amazon. I make something similar to this with roasted eggplant and soy curls (chopped into short lengths. Delicious!

Oh wow, this was good. Best tofu marinade ever. We didn’t measure anything, baked it at 425 and served it on lightly sautéed broccoli, bok choy and carrot.

Couldn't stop eating these even before they reached the oven! So quick and easy and addictive!

Buy Wildwood organic high protein super firm tofu. Doesn't need pressing, very solid, keeps its shape. Good for grilling.

I cannot view this recipe. There is an ad box that won’t go away. It has been this way for three days. I’ve updated the app, closed it and reopened it… other recipes open as normal, Just not this one.

Incredible. I brushed the marinated tofu (only did 30 m marinade and next time will try longer bc WOW) with a little extra cornstarch before broiling high for 25 m to crisp it. Served over rice fluffed with sesame oil and a splash of soy. Green onions too. Side of quick pickled cucumbers using seasoned rice vinegar sugar and red pepper. Toasted sesame seeds and put em over everything. The tofu was crisp and the flavor divine. Definitely a new favorite.

I thought the flavor of this was delicious, even omitting the sesame because of a food allergy. I did find that I wanted something creamy on top--maybe some kewpie mayo next time.

How about an actual recipe? Air Fryer instructions would be even better. I often have to change online recipes to accommodate our food allergies, but without the original proportions it’s not at all useful.

I can only see a photo and notes, ingredients and preparation instructions are not populating.

Does anyone else have trouble extracting liquid from tofu? I've followed many tips and techniques but each time I end up with crumbly bits instead of a solid slab.
