Crispy tofu is the best kind of tofu! I never used to like tofu, but when it's made right it is so yummy. Once this delicious sauce is added to the tofu, it doesn't make the tofu still stays crispy and doesn't get soggy at all. The sauce is so delicious and sticky, it thickens from the maple syrup but packs a punch from the chili flakes & pepper.

If you are unable to find gocharu, just substitute the marinated cucumbers for kimchi. Rice with this dish is optional but definitely recommended! I hope you enjoy this sticky tofu as much as I do.

That’s an awful lot of cornflour, sure it’s not a typo? I have made similar tofu before just using 2-3 tbs of cornflour

  I agree. I’m thinking it should be 1-2 Tbsp.
