Instructions
For tofu:
- Place the tofu between two paper towels and press it to release any extra liquid.
- Using new paper towels, repeat the process until the tofu is dry. It will never be fully dry but you’ll be able to get out most of the moisture.
- Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
- Drizzle over the avocado oil and soy sauce and toss to combine.
- Add the cornstarch and toss to combine.
- Spray your air fryer basket well with nonstick spray.
- Add the tofu in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
- Cook the tofu at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Once fully cooked remove it from the air fryer and place it in a large bowl.
For sauce:
- While the tofu cooks, place all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes or until it is no longer steaming. This will help prevent the tofu from becoming soggy.
- Toss the sauce with the tofu until each piece is evenly coated.
- 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.
