Provided by Sina

Categories     Appetizer     Entrées

Number Of Ingredients 11

21 oz extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic
1 inch piece fresh ginger
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon onion powder
red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut the tofu into cubes.
  • Make the tofu marinade. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir well.
  • Add the tofu cubes and stir well.
  • If you've got enough time, let the tofu marinade for about 10-20 minutes for a deeper flavor. If you're short on time, just let it marinade for a minute and then move on to the next step.
  • Set your air fryer to 350 °F and air fry the tofu for 12-15 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.
  • Serve the air fryed tofu immediately with vegan mayonnaise or aioli or with a salad.

AIR FRYER TOFU



Air Fryer Tofu image

Enjoy this crispy air fryer tofu recipe with any stir fry or salad. With a soy maple marinade and seasoned with garlic, ginger and sriracha.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 block (12 to 15 ounces) extra-firm tofu (must be extra firm)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha or hot sauce of choice
1 tablespoon corn starch or arrowroot starch

Steps:

  • Remove the tofu from the package and drain. With your hands, gently squeeze out as much water as you can without breaking or crushing the block. Lay the tofu flat on a cutting board so the longer edge is towards you, then cut it into four strips. Rotate the strips so that the wider (cut sides) are flat against the cutting board and cut them in half again those you have 8 strips total. Cut the strips crosswise into cubes that are about 1 inch in size (I end up with 5 cubes per strip).
  • Line a cutting board or large plate with a clean tea towel (or similar lint-free kitchen towel) or paper towels. Spread the tofu cubes onto it in one layer and lay a second towel on top. Press gently but firmly and change out the towel as needed. The idea is to remove as much water from the tofu as possible.
  • In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, oil, garlic powder, ginger, and hot sauce.
  • Place the tofu in a shallow baking dish or medium mixing bowl. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu, then with your hand, toss gently to combine. Let the tofu sit for 15 minutes, tossing it again halfway through. Don't worry if a few bits crumble. Those will turn deliciously crispy.
  • If you'd like to keep the tofu warm between batches, preheat your oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F according to the manufacturer's instructions (for my air fryer, that is 3 minutes of preheat time).
  • Just before cooking, sprinkle the corn starch evenly over the top of the tofu and toss to coat.
  • Coat the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray. Add the tofu in one layer, leaving a little space around the cubes so that they do not touch and the air can circulate (depending upon the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook it in two or three batches).
  • Cook the tofu for 9 minutes, slide the basket out and shake it gently to toss the tofu, then continue cook for 2 to 4 additional minutes, tossing and checking it each minute, until the tofu is crisp and dark golden (the time will vary based on your air fryer; keep a close eye on it towards the end to make sure it doesn't burn). If desired, transfer the tofu to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish the rest.
  • Repeat with remaining tofu, discarding any excess marinade (if you have some crumbled bits of tofu in the bottom of the bowl, you can air fry those too). Enjoy!

  • You roll the block of EXTRA FIRM TOFU in kitchen paper or clean kitchen towel and then put it in a Kitchen Colander in the kitchen sink. Then place a heavy object or a bowl of water on top of the tofu. This will press the Tofu down and squeeze out all the extra liquid. Doing that for 20-30 minutes is sufficient time to get rid of the liquid.
  • Preheat the Air fryer at 400*F for 3-4 minutes. Now place a Air fryer Parchment Paper inside the air fryer basket and place TOFU CUBES at some distance from each other. Spray lightly with some cooking oil. You might have to air fry all the cubes in 2 batches. You can also choose to skip the paper and air fry directly on the wire basket. In that case, spray the basket well with oil to avoid sticking.

  • 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. I skip this step most of the time with no issues :)
  • 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.
  • Spray your air fryer basket (OR use a parchment liner to make clean up easy! these have holes in them to keep the cooking process the same) 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, but I sometimes give it a few extra minutes if I want it ultra crispy.
