In reply to Hyosun.

Thanks for the advice! I tried this and am eating it now. It’s pretty good but I definitely didn’t get it 100% right. To sub in gochujang I looked at its sodium content and saw about the same sodium per tablespoon as soy sauce, so I put 2T soy sauce instead of three, 1T gochujang and made up the extra liquid volume by using 4T of water instead of 3. Then I saw the original amount of gochugaru was only 1 teaspoon, and realized I was going to end up maybe a little spicier than I wanted anyway despite using the milder source of chile. Next time I’ll do the math better (maybe more like 2.33T soy sauce, 1tsp gochujang, 3.33T water).
Also my wok is too small lol I had to do the tofu in three batches and definitely needed to sneak a little more oil in there to prevent it from burning. Idk if it’s because I pressed it instead of wiping it, but the tofu today kept trying to suck the oil up out of the wok while cooking.
I’ll definitely come back for more of your recipes—I’m already looking at your spicy pork recipe and drooling. ^_^

Thanks for this recipe! Our family of six had it for dinner last night along and there’s no leftovers at all. Adding it to our rotation! The nice thing about this recipe is I started it and it cooked slowly while I made banchan side dishes and soup. It didn’t burn in that time, but converted from pale to golden to tantalizingly caramelized. My elementary schoolers woke up this morning and thanked me for making their (new) favorite dishes for dinner.

***Thank you*** So tasty! Substituted gochujang sauce for the pepper flakes (it was what I had on hand); no problems.

In reply to Lucy Villalta. yes, but you may want to reduce the soy sauce a little bit because gochujang adds saltiness too.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I am Korean, raised in America, and I have eaten SO much amazing Korean food prepared by my mother. However, it’s often hard to nail down a recipe since she always estimates measurements. I can better emulate her cooking using your recipes. Among all of the Korean cooking websites, I think your site offers the most authentic recipes. Thank you again. Please keep posting recipes!
