Tofu
(Prep + Cook Time: 35 minutes | Servings: 4)
Tofu is a healthy variety to meat options. While it is a popular choice among vegetarians, it can also be thoroughly enjoyed by just about anyone. Tofu has a soft, adaptive flavor that can be seasoned to create any taste. When it is fried, it creates a scrumptious, crispy outer layer while still keeping its deliciously soft interior. This tofu is easy to make, features an authentic oriental flavor and will definitely make you fall in love with air fried tofu.
Ingredients:
1x 12 oz package tofu, low-fat and extra firm
2 tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp coriander paste
1 tsp duck fat (or coconut oil)
1 tsp maggi sauce
Directions:
Drain the package of tofu and then cut the contents into 1 inch cubes.
Place them out on a paper towel lined plate evenly, and in a single layer.
Cover them with more paper towel, put another plate on top and place something on it to weigh it down.
This will thoroughly dry your tofu out. You can change the paper towel once or twice to get it extra dry. Ideally you should dry tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking with it, though you can go as long as overnight if you have the time.
In a medium bowl, mix together: sesame oil, Maggi sauce, coriander paste, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Blend thoroughly to make your marinade.
Place your dried tofu into the marinade bowl and mix thoroughly so they are evenly coated.
Let the cubes marinate for about 30 minutes, or longer if possible.
Toss the cubes a few times while marinating to keep them evenly coated and make sure they all get a strong dose of flavor.
If the marinade is too thick and isn’t coating well, add an additional squirt of fish sauce or soy sauce to thin it out and help it spread easier.
Heat your Air Fryer to 350F and let your duck fat or coconut oil melt for about 2 minutes.
Add the tofu cubes to the basket and let them cook for about 20 minutes.
If you prefer them extra crispy, you can cook them for as long as 30 minutes.
Turn the cubes or shake the basket every 10 minutes to keep them frying evenly and thoroughly.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
