↔ No gochujang (Korean chili paste)? Sriracha or another chili paste with a little miso and honey gets close. It won’t have the same fermented depth.

Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Cut the tofu into cubes, sprinkle with salt to remove the moisture, and coat with starch.
Deep-fry the tofu twice in 175C cooking oil until crispy.
Cut the bell peppers and paprika into 0.5cm squares.
Over heat, mix the soy sauce, corn syrup, gochujang, and water in the measured amounts.
Stir-fry the bell peppers and paprika in an oiled pan, then add the mixed braising sauce and boil.
When the braising sauce from step 5 thickens, add the fried tofu, mix carefully, and finish with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.

💡 TipFried dishes also have a strong flavor, so frying is a good cooking method when you want to eat without using much salt.
