If you think you don’t like tofu, this crispy tofu recipe might just change your mind! For the crispiest result, don’t skip pressing the tofu to remove the excess liquid; you can use tins or a heavy pan as a weight.
Ingredients
Plain Tofu
450 g
Tamari soya sauce
2 tablespoon(s)
Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon(s)
Rice Wine Vinegar
2 teaspoon(s)
Garlic
2 clove(s)
Root Ginger
½ teaspoon(s)
Cornflour
1 teaspoon(s), level
Instructions
1
Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper and put on a plate. Put another plate on top and weigh it down using a full tin of food. Leave for 30 minutes to drain, then pour off the liquid and cut into cubes.
2
In a large bowl, combine the tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Add the tofu and marinate for 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
3
Preheat air fryer, if necessary, to 200°C. Transfer the tofu from the marinade to a plate using a slotted spoon. Using a fine sieve, sprinkle with cornstarch, turning the tofu as you go. Pour any remaining marinade into a small serving dish.
4
Air-fry the tofu in a single layer (in batches, if necessary) for 12-15 mins, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. Serve with the reserved marinade for drizzling.
