Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- 1
Wrap pressed tofu in a clean kitchen towel. Press against a cutting board with weight for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch and salt until all pieces are evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with oil.
- 4
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
- 5
While tofu cooks, whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
- 6
Pour glaze over hot tofu and toss gently to coat. Let sit 1 minute so sauce can cling.
- 7
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Drizzle with extra sauce from the bottom of the bowl.
