Tips: Pat the tofu thoroughly dry so the starch coats it evenly and it splatters less in the pan.
Tips: Lower the heat before adding the sauce to keep the gochujang from sticking and burning.
Tips: Once the tofu is in the pan, avoid turning it too often until the outside sets so it’s less likely to break apart.
