• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

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.

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.
