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.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine garlic, just 2 tsp ginger, gochujang, peanut butter, tamari, sugar, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp warm water in medium bowl. Whisk together gochujang sauce. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp ginger, ¼ cup warm water) (TIP: Save remaining ginger for your own use.)
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until crispy in places, 3 to 5 minutes. Add gochujang sauce and cook until brown in places, 2 to 3 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil)
Combine coleslaw, kimchi, mayo, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat.
Wrap tortillas in clean dish towel and microwave to soften, 15 to 30 seconds. Divide warm tortillas between plates and top with Korean tofu and kimchi slaw. Top tacos with cilantro. Dig in! (TIP: You can also wrap tortillas in foil and place in 400°F oven until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.)
