Method

  1. Mix gochujang paste, sugar and a generous pinch of salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix doenjang paste and a generous pinch of salt.

  2. Using a glass cut the tofu into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder in half widthways to create 2 smaller cylinders. Cut them in half again so you have 4 cylinders.

  3. Take 2 cylinders and cover them in the gochujang mix, and the other 2 in the doenjang mix.

  4. Make the pasta by combining gram flour, psyllium husk & aquafaba. Mix well & knead to form a dough. Roll dough into thin sheets & cut into circles. Use a slightly smaller glass than before as the pasta will expand when cooked.

  5. Cook the pasta circles in a large pan to ensure they don't stick together. After 1-2 mins they should turn golden yellow. Carefully remove from the water and place on a clean tea towel.

  6. Now the tofu should be well marinated. In a frying pan add vegetable oil and fry the tofu for 2-3 mins on each side on a high heat, or until dark brown.

  7. To make the cheese sauce mix oat milk, cornflour & nutritional yeast to a small pan & whisk until combined. Cook on a medium heat until thick & gooey.

  8. To assemble the lasagne add a layer of gochuchang tofu, then pasta, kimchi, pasta, doenchang tofu, pasta, kimchi, cheese sauce & the sesame seeds on top. Bake for 20 mins at 200c. The sauce should be bubbling & the seeds browned.

  9. To serve, carefully cut around the edge of the lasagne to stop it from sticking to the ramekin then scoop out with a large serving spoon.
