Crispy tofu creation with Korean flavors

These tofu puffs revolutionize the way tofu is prepared. Kneading them with chickpea flour and spices creates a completely new texture – crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. The little balls are oven-baked and then tossed in a sweet and spicy gochujang glaze. Gochujang, the Korean chili paste, brings complex flavors: hot, sweet, and slightly fermented. Combined with vinegar and agave, they create a perfectly balanced sauce reminiscent of Korean fried chicken. These tofu puffs are perfect as a main course with rice, as a side dish, or even as a party snack. They show that tofu doesn't have to be boring – with the right preparation, it becomes a highlight.
