Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C), if needed.
  • Wrap tofu in kitchen towel and press under heavy object for 10 to 30 minutes to remove moisture.
  • In bowl, combine potato starch, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cut tofu into ¾-inch cubes and toss in starch mixture to coat.
  • Spray air fryer basket. Shake off excess starch and place tofu in single layer. Spray again (1 teaspoon oil total).
  • Cook for 10 minutes. Toss tofu, then cook for another 10 minutes until crisp and lightly browned.
  • While tofu cooks, make glaze. In small pan, combine sugar, vinegar, and tamari. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in sambal.
  • Toss hot tofu in glaze. Top with green onions and serve with Coconut Ginger Rice (see original recipe).
