WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A CRFI TOFU
There are two main components to this crispy tofu: tofu (duh), and marinade.
Tofu: Use extra hard tofu, which has more water squeezed than soft or silk varieties. Less water = more crisp!
Soy Sauce: Soybeans (or tamari without gluten) add to the rich and salty taste that increases your level of knowledge.
Oil: We will use a mixture of sesame / olive oil to add flavor and increase crispness. I would not recommend cutting the oil completely, but you can use oil that can be sprayed if you want to reduce fat.
Garlic: I use this for a quick and simple taste in seasoning. Feel crazy about it and mix your own spices or spices!
Machine tofu: You want to remove water from your tofu before cooking it. I like the press to know this (although you can also use a heavy pan).
INGREDIENTS
- 1 16-oz block extra-firm tofu 453 g
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil * 15 mL
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 1 clove garlic minced
INSTRUCTIONS
Press: Tofu press for at least 15 minutes, using either a tofu press or by setting a heavy pan on top of it, letting the moisture drain. When finished, cut into bite-sized blocks and transfer to a bowl.
Flavor: Combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over tofu and toss to coat. et tofu marinate for an additional 15 minutes.
Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (300 C). Add tofu blocks to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.
