Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 block extra-firm tofu pressed and cubed
8 small tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Pickled Vegetables

1 cup carrots julienned
1 cup cucumber sliced thinly
1/2 cup radishes sliced thinly
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Prepare the tofu by pressing it to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
2 In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
3 Add tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4 While the tofu is marinating, prepare the pickled vegetables. In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then add carrots, cucumber, and radishes. Toss to coat and set aside.
5 Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add marinated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
6 Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
7 Assemble the tacos by placing a few tofu cubes on each tortilla, then top with a generous portion of pickled vegetables.
8 Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds if desired.
