Air Fryer Chili Garlic Tofu Recipe
I used Homemade Chili Garlic Sauce to make this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 package tofu
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 1½ tablespoons (22 ml) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Gently wrap tofu in multiple layers with paper towels. Top with something heavy. Leave for 30 minutes.
Cut tofu into cubes.
In a large zip top bag, combine cubed tofu and cornstarch. Shake well to coat.
Remove tofu pieces from the bag and transfer to a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well.
Working in batches, place tofu in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature at 370 F (185 C).
Fry for 15 minutes.
Remove fried tofu from the fryer and transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining tofu.
In a large nonstick skillet, combine remaining ingredients, except sesame seeds and sesame oil. Mix well.
Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
Stir in sesame oil and continue cooking for a further 1 minute.
Remove fried tofu from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.
