Instructions
For the Tofu
- Step 1
Press the tofu according to THESE detailed directions.
- Step 2
Slice the tofu into ½” cubes and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil and soy sauce and toss gently to combine.
- Step 3
Add the cornstarch and toss to combine. Spray your air fryer basket well with olive oil spray and add the tofu in a single layer, making sure now to overcrowd the basket.
- Step 4
Cook the tofu at 400ºF for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the air fryer and place it in a large bowl.
For the Sauce
- Step 5
While the tofu air fries, place all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat.
- Step 6
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes or until it is no longer steaming. This will help prevent the tofu from becoming soggy.
- Step 8
Toss the sauce with the tofu until each piece is evenly coated.
- Step 9
Serve over rice with your choice of garnishes. This tofu is best enjoyed on the day it is made, as it tends to become soggy when stored.
Notes
- Step 10
*Extra firm tofu ensures that it will hold together in the air fryer and become crisp instead of crumbly.
