Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb block of EXTRA firm tofu, pressed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (this has a high smoke point)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Press the tofu for 30mins. This can be done by wrapping the tofu in a clean tea towel or kitchen paper. Place a weight, like a large can of food or a frying pan, on top. Let sit for 30 minutes. This will squeeze out the extra moisture
- After the tofu is pressed, cut it into small cubes.
- Add the tofu to a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well until all the tofu is evenly covered.
- Place in your air fryer as evenly spread out as possible. Se your air fryer to 400F. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Remove after the tofu is cooked. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then serve. Enjoy!
