This vegan Black Pepper Tofu recipe is part of my Veganized Restaurant Remake Series, where I take popular restaurant recipes and veganize them!

Do y’all remember the Black Pepper Chicken from Panda Express? It used to be my favorite! It was peppery and savory, and just so delicious. And even though they no longer offer it at Panda, I’m happy to report that you can make it in the comfort of your own home with minimal ingredients and in less time than it takes to drive and pick up takeout. a win-win!

Sticky Baked Korean BBQ Tofu Bites with Gochujang Ranch

By 22 Comments

Sticky Baked Korean BBQ Tofu Bites with Gochujang Ranch. Kinda like popcorn chicken, but SO. MUCH. BETTER. These little morsels of tofu are battered and baked until golden brown and crispy, slathered in the most delicious Korean inspired BBQ sauce, then baked again until they’re extra sticky-icky-good. Pair with my tangy Gochujang Ranch dressing, and you’ve got the most delicious appetizer or main dish that everyone is sure to love!

Sticky Baked Korean BBQ Tofu Bites with Gochujang Ranch

Warning : these Sticky Baked Korean BBQ Tofu Bites are seriously addictive. Once you start, you won’t be able to stop. The tofu is coated and baked until perfectly golden brown and crispy. Then, it’s tossed in the most delicious slightly-sweet, slightly-spicy, perfectly-salted, Korean inspired BBQ sauce (homemade, of course).

And it doesn’t stop there.

After the crispy tofu bites are tossed in the perfectly balanced Korean BBQ sauce, they’re baked again … in the sauce … making for extra sticky, extra delicious tofu! Make sure you also make the Gochujang Ranch for a one-way ticket to FLAVOR TOWN!
