Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk gochujang, soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, and broth together in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut tofu into 0.75-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms to the skillet. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until edges brown.

  4. Step 4

    Pour sauce over mushrooms. Add tofu and bok choy, then simmer 5 minutes until bok choy wilts.

    Taste and add salt or soy sauce as needed. The sauce should coat and cling to the tofu.
