Crispy Korean-Style BBQ Tofu ‘Wings’ Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-Free): A Step-by-Step Guide
- Arrange the tofu in a lidded container that is spacious enough to accommodate both the tofu and the marinade.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a whisking motion, ensuring the sugar is fully incorporated and dissolved. Pour over the tofu.
- Securely cover the container and carefully tilt it to ensure a uniform coating of the marinade.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Prior to cooking, set your oven to a temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal results.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray for effortless food release and easy cleanup. Place the tofu wings on a baking sheet and bake at a moderate temperature of 375°F (190°C) for approximately 35-45 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness. Be careful it doesn’t burn.
- As the tofu bakes, pour the remaining marinade into a compact saucepan. With an additional tablespoon of rice vinegar and a pair of teaspoons of sesame oil added to the saucepan,
- Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches a rolling bubble. Allow the sauce to reduce. As you continue to stir, the mixture will inevitably begin to bubble and foam due to the presence of sugar. As the mixture simmers, the foam will dissipate and the sauce will gradually thicken to a luscious sheen. Allow to cool before serving.
- In a large mixing bowl, carefully pour the sauce into the base of the container to ensure an even coating for the wings. Transferring the baked “wings,” gently fold them to ensure even coating with the sauce.
