Directions

• Remove the tofu from the package and drain off the excess water. Wrap in a towel to remove the liquid. (If you want ultra crispy tofu, press it for about 20 minutes with a heavy object.)
• Cut into 1 inch cubes and toss with the soy sauce. In a small dish, whisk together the corn starch, paprika and garlic powder. Add to the tofu and toss to combine.
• Toss in the breadcrumbs until well coated.
• Spray your air fryer basket and add in the tofu in a single layer.
• Set the air fryer to 375 Fahrenheit and set the timer for 15 minutes. Remove the basket and shake every 5 minutes to ensure nothing sticks and everything cooks evenly. At the 15 minute mark, check the tofu.
• It will be quite crispy at this point, so stop it now if it is done enough for you, or give it a few extra minutes if you want it ultra crispy.
• While the tofu is cooking, add the minced garlic and sesame oil to a small pot. Saute until lightly golden brown.
• Add in all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk really well. Let simmer over low heat until thick. If after 5 or so minutes it isn’t thickening, whisk in an extra teaspoon of cornstarch.
• When both the tofu and sauce are done, let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer the tofu to a large bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy with rice & veggies or just as is.
