→ Main Ingredients
01 -
One (16-oz) pack of extra-firm tofu
02 -
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
03 -
1 tablespoon of sesame oil (toasted)
04 -
1 tablespoon of olive oil
05 -
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Squish the tofu for no less than 15 minutes using a press or something heavy like a pan. Chop it into smaller chunks and place them in a bowl.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix everything else together. Pour this mixture over the tofu and give it a good toss so it’s fully coated. Let it sit and soak up the flavor for 15 minutes.
03 -
Get your air fryer preheated to 375°F (190°C). Layer the tofu pieces evenly and let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. Give the basket a few shakes here and there for even results.
# Notes:
01 -
You can swap all the sesame oil for olive oil if you want.
02 -
Stays good for 4-5 days in the fridge.

The super-firm kind of tofu works best to make it extra crispy.
