Breakfast Sunday 28 January - Tofu and Gochujang Wrap

Tofu and Gochujang Wrap
I had some strips of leftover fried tofu from last night, wrapped up in a tortilla spread with Gochujang, which is a Korean chilli paste. All wrapped up with chipped lettuce & tomatoes.

Forgot to take a picture, but here is what Gochujang looks like:


The Wikipedia says:
"Gochujang (고추장、苦椒醤) is a spicy Korean condiment, made from glutinous rice powder mixed with powdered fermented soybeans, red chili powder, and salt, and fermented, traditionally in the sun. Other grains can be substituted for the glutinous rice, including normal rice, wheat, and barley. A small amount of sweetener, such as sugar, syrup, or honey is also sometimes added. It is a dark, reddish paste with a rich, spicy flavour.

It has been used in Korea since the 16th century, after chili was first introduced."
