Potato and tofu roast in gochujang

I had a lovely dish of noodles and dumpling with fried potatoes at a Korean restaurant sometime back. This is my take on the dish with a slight British influence....... well it's Sunday so I had to do the roast potatoes.

You will need
Potatoes for roasting
Firm tofu
Spring onions
Oil
Sesame seeds
Gochujang- Korean hot pepper paste.

Give the potatoes a boil in hot boiling water with a pinch of salt they need a few minutes till they get a slightly tender. Drain and let them cool. Cut the tofu in bite size pieces and dry them a bit.

Heat oil in a baking dish and pop in the potatoes and tofu. Bake till crisp , tofu might cook faster than the potatoes so take it out and set aside. Once it is all done throw a spoon of gochujang on the warm potatoes and tofu, mix well. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.

Tofu is very versatile so it can be baked, fried, boiled steamed...... you get the point.
