Ingredients

  • 1 block 400 g extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil I use toasted sesame oil for extra flavour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt you can sub garlic powder and salt instead if you don't have garlic salt
  • 2-3 tbsp cornstarch
  • Oil to spray optional
Eddie's BBQ Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Kraft Chicken & Rib sauce it's vegan, don't worry
  • 1/3 cup Franks Buffalo Sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Press your tofu for about 30 minutes to remove excess water
  2. Gently break the tofu into similar sized bite-size chunks. You could cut into cubes if desired, but I find the sauce clings better when you break the pieces.
  3. In a bowl, lightly toss the tofu with 1 tbsp of vegetable or toasted sesame oil. The tofu can be kind of delicate here, so be gentle.
  4. Sprinkle on the garlic salt and cornstarch and toss to coat.
To Make in the Air Fryer
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat airfryer to 400F.
  2. Arrange the tofu in a single layer in your air fryer. Lightly spritz with oil to get it extra crispy (but you can omit this if you want).
  3. Airfry for about 16-18 minutes, until golden and tofu is evenly crispy.
  4. Remove from airfryer and toss in Eddie's Buffalo sauce concoction, and enjoy! Add to salads, wraps, sandwiches, or as buffalo bites!
To Make in the Oven
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F
  2. Arrange tofu on a baking sheet (lined for easier cleanup and flipping) in a single layer. Spritz with oil for crispness. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Bake until golden as desired.
  3. Remove from the oven and toss in Eddie's Buffalo sauce :)
