Instructions

  • Remove the tofu from the packet. Using a tea towel, wrap a block of tofu. Place on a plate and top with a wooden chopping board and anything heavy, such as a pan of water or a pestle and mortar.
  • Drain the water from the tofu until you think it's firm enough. Once the tofu is drained, cut it into small square shapes, place it in a medium sized bowl.
  • Coat the tofu pieces with corn flour and set aside. In a small bowl, add gochujang paste, soy sauce and ginger, mix until combined all together. Dip the tofu in the sauce and thread on skewers along with the red onions, courgettes and peaches.
  • Once all the skewers, place in the grill or Barbecue for 5 - 7 minutes on each side or until the they are cooked. Keep an eye to make sure they do burn. On serving plate, place flatbread, skewers, spring onions and sauce of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you decide to use wooden skewers, make sure to place and cover  them with water an hour before use to avoid them from burning in the grill/BBQ
  • If you don't have access to gochujang paste, you can substitute it with any other spicy condiment of your choice, such as sriracha or harissa.
  • If you prefer a different texture, you can use different types of tofu. Firm or medium-firm tofu will also work well in this recipe, but keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly.
