Equipment

Instructions

Prepare Tofu:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic cloves, and ginger in a small saucepan; stir well.
  • Bring sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Cut tofu into 1-inch squares; place in baking pan, then pour sauce over top.
  • Bake tofu for about 30 minutes (stirring every 10 minutes) or until sauce has thickened and coats tofu.
  • Remove from oven, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Prepare Kimchi Slaw:

  • While tofu is cooking, combine cabbage, carrots, radishes, and green onions in a large bowl.
  • Stir soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sriracha, garlic, and ginger together in a small bowl.
  • Pour sauce over veggies. Mix well.

To serve:

  • Warm tortillas one-by-one in a small skillet over medium-high heat just until softened, flipping once.
  • Top tortillas with tofu and slaw. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve tacos immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

For the fastest and best results, assemble the tacos as the individual tortillas heat. That way, the tacos will stay hot, and you'll save time.
This recipe uses baked tofu, which comes pre-seasoned. You can find it at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and other stores. Most flavors will work great (I used "Savory" flavor).
