Instructions
- First, combine all the flours and spices for the tofu: rice flour, cornflour, spice mix, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is uniform.
- Drain the excess water from your tofu using paper towels or apply some pressure using a heavy item such as a plate or a pan.
- Once drained, crumble the tofu into bite-size nuggets and coat with the spice mixture. If it makes the whole process easier, coat the tofu with your hands to make sure the nuggets are evenly seasoned.
- Place the tofu nuggets in the air fryer, drizzle with some olive oil, and air fry for about 17-20 minutes at 400F (200C), or until golden and crispy.
- While the tofu is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients and whisking until you have a smooth dipping sauce.
- Serve the nuggets on a plate with some chopped coriander and the dipping sauce. You can add a pinch of sea salt while hot, and enjoy!
