Instructions

  1. 1. Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick cubes. Tip: The more uniform, the more even the result.
  2. 2. Pat the tofu cubes dry with paper towels. Important: Don't rinse them, or they'll become mushy.
  3. 3. Put the cubes in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tbsp cornstarch. Shake well.
  4. 4. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes. Preheating is essential for crispiness.
  5. 5. Place the tofu cubes in the air fryer basket. Spread them in a single layer.
  6. 6. Brush the cubes with 1 tbsp sesame oil. This will make them golden brown instead of dry.
  7. 7. Fry the tofu for 10 minutes at 180 °C. Turn the cubes after 5 minutes for even browning, until they are golden brown.
  8. 8. Finely chop the 2 garlic cloves. Caution: Don't let them burn, or it will become bitter.
  9. 9. Finely chop the ginger. Add 1 tbsp chopped ginger to the sauce bowl.
  10. 10. Mix the 2 tbsp soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and 1 tsp sugar in a small bowl.
  11. 11. Toast the 2 tbsp sesame seeds in a hot pan for 2 minutes until fragrant. Don't burn them!
  12. 12. Remove the crispy tofu from the air fryer. It should feel firm and be golden brown.
  13. 13. Pour the sesame sauce over the hot tofu. Gently toss until everything is shiny and coated.
  14. 14. Sprinkle the tofu with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately to keep it crispy.
