Instructions

1. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or slices. Roll the tofu pieces in cornstarch until they are fully coated. This will give the tofu its crispy texture. 
2. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy, then place it on paper towels to drain.
3. Combine soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. This mixture will be used to glaze the tofu, adding a rich, umami flavor.
4. Toss the fried tofu in the sauce over low heat until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes more. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds and enjoy the perfect spicy and crispy dish.

Here are some tips for eating like a pro the next time you visit a Korean BBQ restaurant.

Know When to Flip

It’s important to cook your meat properly if you want to enjoy it to the best of its potential. Undercooking meat can be dangerous while overcooking meat can rob it of its juiciness and flavor. Keep an eye on those meats!

Variety is the Spice of Life

Don’t just stick to one cut of meat or even one type of meat. Don’t be afraid to try different things! There’ll be some that you like more and some that you like less, but it’s worth giving everything a go.

Banchan is Your Friend

Banchan are the side dishes that are typically served along with the meats at Korean BBQ restaurants. Ranging from kimchi to pickled eggplant, it provides a nice, sharp contrast to the rich meat that you’ll be eating.

Pork Belly is the Star of the Show

I know that I told you to try different cuts of meat earlier, but we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have a favorite. Pork belly is the perfect combination of fat and flavor and there’s nothing that tastes quite as good on a Korean barbecue grill.
