Ingredients
1 block of firm tofu, cubed
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon of sesame seeds
Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Directions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it between paper towels and putting a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes. Then, cut it into cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the coated tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until the tofu is crispy and golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce and teriyaki sauce.
Toss the cooked tofu in the teriyaki sauce mixture until well-coated.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving
