How to Prepare Crispy Miso Tofu [Vegan]
- Prepare the tofu by removing from its packaging and draining any excess water.
- Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel, or a few layers of paper towels, to absorb moisture.
- Place the wrapped tofu on a plate and place a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet or a few books, on top of the tofu to press it.
- Allow the tofu to press for at least 15-30 minutes, or up to an hour for firmer results. Once the tofu is pressed, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced ginger and garlic, rice vinegar, gochujang and sesame oil.
- Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- After marinating, remove the tofu from the bowl and carefully toss each piece in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides.
- Once the tofu is crispy and golden, remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice.
