What is Korean Tofu Stir Fry?
This delectable stir fry is packed with spicy Korean flavors. I have used gochujang and gochugaru combined with a few aromatics and sauces to make a delicious stir-fry sauce. It is not very spicy, though quite flavorful. I have used vegetables of my choice to make this excellent stir fry.
What type of Tofu is used?
I prefer Extra-firm tofu for stir-fries because it holds its shape and has excellent texture after baking or frying. Removing water using a thick layer of paper towel or tofu press is essential.
What Veggies can be used?
I have used broccoli, red pepper, and yellow pepper for simplicity; however, you can use as many as you want. Crispy, crunchy vegetables are vital in making this Korean tofu stir fry.
How do you make Korean-influenced stir fry sauce?

Extra firm tofu, broccoli, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cooking oil, ginger- garlic, lots of scallions, and some sesame seeds for garnish. Whisked sauce mix is another main ingredient of the dish I made using gochujang,gochugaru, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Can we store it in the fridge for some time?
Remember that vegetables and sometimes even tofu will lose their texture. Still, if you want, you can keep them in the fridge in a freezer-safe container for 1-2 days.
