We stumbled upon another culinary treasure, this time courtesy of @BasicSundayCooking on TikTok. The spotlight was on their rapid creation of sweet and sticky gochujang tofu bites, a tantalizing venture into the world of Korean cuisine. Given our shared love for all things gochujang and my current obsession with Korean flavors, this recipe was an instant contender for the latest edition of Sunday Suppers.

The best part? No impromptu grocery store run was required; we had all the necessary ingredients on hand. Firm, water-drained tofu, gochujang, corn syrup, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, starch, salt, and pepper were the key players. Listing them out, it seemed like quite a lineup, but hey, having them all in my kitchen just meant I was leveling up as a cook!

As we embarked on the cooking journey, a 30-minute catch-up session unfolded—our version of a life scrum meeting, sharing stories and updates from the past week. Once we shifted gears to the recipe, the final product graced our plates in no time. The steps were a breeze—whip up the sauce, coat the tofu cubes, and give them a delightful pan fry. Simple as that!

The moment of truth arrived as we plated our creation and took the first bites. CRUNCH CRUNCH, baby! The delightful combination of sweetness, savory goodness, and that satisfying crunch made every moment spent in the kitchen worthwhile. Five minutes later, and the plate was empty. This might just be our favorite recipe to date, and without a doubt, it's destined for a encore performance in the future.
