Instructions
1
Drain the tofu and tear it into bite-sized, rustic pieces by hand to create more surface area for crisping.
💡
Tip:Using high-protein tofu avoids the need for heavy pressing.
2
In a large bowl, toss the tofu pieces with cornstarch, spices, soy sauce, and oil until evenly coated.
💡
Tip:Coating in small batches ensures every piece gets crispy.
3
Arrange the tofu in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook at 191 °C for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until golden brown.
💡
Tip:Ensure the pieces aren't overlapping to maximize airflow.
4
While the tofu cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
💡
Tip:Adjust the chili sauce ratio if you prefer more heat.
5
Transfer the crispy tofu to a hot skillet, pour in half the sauce, and toss over medium heat for 2 minutes until the sauce caramelizes into a glossy glaze.
💡
Tip:Don't overcook, or the cornstarch coating may lose its crunch.
6
Serve the glazed tofu over warm rice with a side of green beans, drizzling the remaining sauce over the top.
💡
Tip:Garnish with fresh green onions or toasted sesame seeds for added texture.
