Korean Tofu Tacos
with Kimchi Slaw & Cilantro
Gochujang is a slightly sweet, spicy, fermented red chile paste commonly used in Korean cuisine. It adds dimension and heat to the peanut butter sauce coating the crispy tofu in these tacos. Kimchi, a spicy, tangy fermented cabbage, is stirred into crunchy coleslaw and mayo for crispy, saucy contrast.
