    ###Ingredients

    * 200g extra firm smoked tofu, pressed and cut into slabs
    * 2 tbsp cornflour
    * Pinch of salt and pepper
    * 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
    * Oil for frying

    **Sauce**

    * 2 tbsp gochujang paste
    * 2 tbsp maple syrup
    * 1 tbsp rice vinegar
    * 2 tbsp soy sauce
    * 1 tbsp sesame oil
    * 3 tbsp warm water

    **Fry with**

    * 2 stalks spring onions (white and green parts separated, chopped)
    * 2 cloves garlic, grated

    ###Instructions

    1. Pat the tofu dry and cut it into slabs. Wrap the nori sheet around the tofu slab. In a container add cornflour, slat and pepper. Add the tofu and coat.
    2. Lightly pan-fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Set aside.
    3. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang paste, grated garlic, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, water and mix until smooth.
    4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a splash of sesame oil then sauté the white parts of the green onions until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
    5. Add the crispy tofu to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir everything well, ensuring the tofu is evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
    6. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with steamed rice and a side of vegetables.

    Nice. Spicy, hot, acid, umami, salt. This is clearly hitting all the notes.

  7. Welp, on a glp-1 coz I’m fat af and haven’t seen anything I’ve wanted to eat in since Saturday morning (and as such am miserable, weak, and constantly exhausted; I’m aware it’s a bad sitch and have an appt to discuss it), but this looks fuckin fantastic minus the nori. Gonna go grab some ingredients at the store now and hopefully find my new hyper fixation to get over this ‘nothing is appetizing’ hump.
