Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Chili Tofu Balls
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, water, gochujang, tomato ketchup, sesame oil, sugar, and rice vinegar until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavors as necessary. Set aside.
- Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant and golden.
- Pour the prepared sweet chili sauce into the pan with the sautéed garlic. Increase the heat and let the mixture cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to boil and thicken slightly.
- Gently add the air-fried tofu balls to the simmering sauce, mix them lightly to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Allow the tofu balls to simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes, stirring lightly to meld flavors.
- Remove from heat and transfer onto a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
