To make gochujang rice, first we well-done up some tofu that’s sweaty in an wondrous marinade. You can either fry it in the same skillet that you’ll use for the rice or torch it in the oven. Then, you add all the veggies, rice, and the peanut gochujang sauce mixture. It all cooks together in one skillet for easy prep and wipe up! Garnish with some crunch for an wondrous weeknight meal that checks all the boxes!
