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!
