1 Prepare the Ingredients
Line a plate with a paper towel. Cut tofu into 1" dice and place on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture. Set aside, 5 minutes.
While tofu presses, trim cucumber, halve lengthwise, and thinly slice into half-moons.Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.Coarsely chop peanuts. -
2 Pickle Vegetables and Make BBQ Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine white portions of green onions, rice vinegar, matchstick carrots, cucumber, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside to pickle, at least 10 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, combine Korean BBQ sauce and half the sambal. Taste, and add more sambal, if desired. Set aside.AFTER PARTY CHANGES: MAKE SAMBAL TO TASTE FROM BEGINNING -
3 Cook the Tofu
Line another plate with a paper towel.
In another mixing bowl, toss or gently combine tofu, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and 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.Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct crispness.Transfer to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. -
4 Warm the Tortillas
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds.
Alternatively, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, to hot, dry pan. Heat undisturbed, 30-45 seconds per side. Remove from pan. -
