Ingredients
14 oz Extra-firm tofu
3 tablespoons Cornstarch
3 tablespoons Soy sauce
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Press the tofu block for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture and cut into 1 inch cubes.
Toss tofu cubes in a bag with cornstarch and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Arrange cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning.
Whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Transfer crispy tofu to a bowl, pour the sauce over the cubes, and toss to coat thoroughly.
Notes
Use extra-firm tofu for the best structural integrity and crunch. Ensure the tofu is in a single layer in the air fryer to prevent steaming instead of crisping. Serve immediately for optimal crunch.
