Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, then place a heavy object, like a cast-iron skillet or a stack of plates, on top of the tofu. Let it press for about 20-30 minutes to remove excess moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">While the tofu is pressed, prepare the marinade. In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup or agave nectar, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and garlic powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Once the tofu has been pressed, cut it into cubes or slices, depending on your preference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Toss the tofu cubes or slices in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Preheat your air fryer to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) for about 5 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Remove the tofu from the marinade and transfer it to a bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss gently to coat each piece evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Arrange the tofu cubes or slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece for air circulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Air fry the tofu for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. Cook until the tofu is golden brown and crispy on the outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Once done, remove the crispy tofu from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or cilantro, if desired, before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: Instructions:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-158","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
