In another mixing bowl, combine Korean BBQ sauce and half the sambal. Taste, and add more sambal, if desired. Set aside. -

In another mixing bowl, toss tofu with cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper until well-coated.Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Add tofu to hot pan and stir occasionally until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.Transfer to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. -
