Instructions
1

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Halve the tofu lengthwise, wrap it in some kitchen roll or a clean tea towel, and press down on the tofu from the top to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Cut the tofu into cubes or tear it into pieces about 1 to 2 centimeters in size with your fingers. Place the tofu in a bowl with the starch and oil, and season generously with salt. Cover the bowl with a lid or plate and shake vigorously for a few seconds.

Place the tofu in the air fryer basket, ensuring all cubes are next to each other and not on top of each other. Bake the tofu at 200°C for a total of 15 minutes. After 10 minutes, shake the basket once and then return the tofu to the air fryer for another 5 minutes, until it is nice and crispy.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tofu Pressing Pro 💧Press tofu for at least 30 minutes using a tofu press or weighted plate to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness in the air fryer.
- Cornstarch Coating Technique 🥣Use a light, even coating of cornstarch by placing tofu cubes in a large bowl and gently tossing with a small amount of oil and cornstarch to create a uniform, crispy exterior.
- Air Fryer Space Strategy 🌪️Arrange tofu cubes in a single layer with slight spacing between each piece to allow hot air circulation, preventing soggy spots and ensuring all-over crispiness.
- Seasoning Layer Hack 🧂For maximum flavor penetration, sprinkle your chosen seasonings immediately after the cornstarch coating so they stick to the oil-moistened surface.
- Crisp Refresh Technique 🔥If tofu loses crispiness after sitting, quickly re-air fry for 2-3 minutes at 380°F to restore the crunchy texture.
