That plate got messy!
Tofu:
- 1 block of tofu (firm, extra-firm, or super-firm)
- 2 tbsp of neutral oil (I used vegetable oil)
- 1 tbsp of cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- 1/2 tsp of paprika
- 3/4 tsp of poultry seasoning
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce (I used a store-bought thin teriyaki marinade, but regular soy sauce or tamari works fine, too)
Sauce:
- 1/4 cup of hot sauce
- 3 tbsp of agave
- 1 tbsp of neutral oil
- 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
- Press the tofu if you are not using super-firm tofu. If you do not have a tofu press, wrap the block in a clean towel and stack on top a pan with some cans inside for about 30 minutes. After that, cut it into whatever shape you want.
- Coat the tofu in the neutral oil and gently toss it. After that, put all the seasonings and toss it again. After that, I put the tbsp of teriyaki sauce and did one more toss until it was nice and evenly coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and air fry anywhere from 12 to 16 minutes (depending on how crispy you want it). I did 16 minutes, and make sure you flip halfway through!
- The sauce I prepared by mixing everything together and then microwaving. I heated it up for 40 seconds and stirred halfway through at 20 seconds, and then I stirred again after it was done microwaving. After that I put the tofu in the same container and tossed it to coat. Even after coating, I had some residual sauce that I used for dipping. You can either pour that leftover sauce over the tofu once you transfer it to a plate or dip like I did!
- Enjoy!
