MIX THE BATTER
In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and the gochujang (to taste). Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and 100ml of water. Add the spring onion whites, the shredded cabbage, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.
FRYING FRENZY
Place a pan over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the cabbage batter and spread out across the pan in an even thickness of about 1cm. Fry until set and golden brown, 6-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel. Cover to keep warm.

Pat the tofu chunks dry with paper towel. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tofu chunks and sear until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. In the final 3-5 minutes, baste with the tofu sauce, the orange juice, and 15ml of water.
