Like, I can\u2019t even believe you can get this kind of delightful crisp and ruggedy crunch with such low effort and energy. <\/p>\n<p>Why I love this:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You get a crispity, crackly golden exterior that looks and tastes like it\u2019s breaded and fried<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s lots of savory saltiness without any one distinct flavor, making it extremely versatile for use in tons of recipes<\/li>\n<li>It is an absolutely elite canvas for sauces \u2013 they cling to every nook, cranny, and crevice of that golden exterior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AND! If you buy the vacuum-packed tofu, there is no pressing. I repeat: NO PRESSING!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re just ripping apart a block of tofu, tossing it in a quick little batter of sorts, and air frying for less than 15 minutes. Holy. Smokes.<\/p>\n<p>This air fryer tofu is already affectionately known in my life as AFT, like the vegetarian cousin to the <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/ridiculously-good-air-fryer-chicken-breast\">air fryer chicken<\/a> (AFC): both extremely easy, versatile, and an absolute go-to that I make multiple times each week.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toss it in a curry \u2013 yes. <\/li>\n<li>Sauce it up and add it to a rice bowl \u2013 yes. <\/li>\n<li>Throw into a noodle stir-fry \u2013 absolutely. <\/li>\n<li>Dip it in your favorite sauce like a chicken nugget \u2013 big yes. My girls love this. I especially love it with <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/incredible-gochujang-sauce\">this incredible gochujang sauce<\/a>. Or make it a bowl with this <a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/sticky-gochujang-tofu-with-herbs-and-peanuts\">sticky gochujang tofu<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/crispy-buffalo-tofu\">Toss it with sauce and top on a salad<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My favorite sauce for this at the moment is the gochujang sauce from the air fryer chicken post \u2013 yep, still on that train. I\u2019ll include it again in the notes of the recipe. I just toss the crispified tofu with a bit of the sauce and it melts right in and it is divine.

If you can\u2019t find the vacuum sealed tofu packages, that\u2019s fine \u2013 look for extra firm tofu and then press the tofu for a bit to remove excess moisture. To do this, I cut the block of tofu into a few slices, lay them flat with paper towels on top and bottom, and set a heavy pan on top for a few minutes. I find that this tofu also crumbles more easily \u2013 so when you\u2019re tossing the tofu in the batter, use a wide spatula and just make a few gentle turns in the bowl to avoid crumbling the tofu entirely (but don\u2019t worry, some breaking is normal and will form delicious crumbles \u2013 promise).<\/p>\n<p><b>Note 2a on Making This Without Nutritional Yeast: <\/b>Change the ingredient amounts to what\u2019s listed below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 tablespoons <strong>cornstarch<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>2 1\/2 tablespoons <strong>soy sauce<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>2 1\/2 tablespoons <strong>avocado oil<\/strong> or <strong>olive oil<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>2\u20133 teaspoons <strong>all-purpose spice blend<\/strong> <em>(see note 3)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note 2b on Making This Without Nutritional Yeast (Photo):<\/strong> The photo below shows two versions \u2013 the top is made with only cornstarch, and the bottom is the original with cornstarch and nutritional yeast.

It\u2019s so good to toss with the crispy tofu. Mix the following: <strong>1\/2 cup mayo, 2 tablespooons gochujang sauce (not paste), 1 clove grated garlic, a shot of soy sauce, a dash of rice vinegar, and salt and pepp<\/strong>. I cover the tofu in sauce and toss it together after the tofu is done let it sort of melt in so it creates almost a glaze-like consistency on the outside of the tofu. It\u2019s SO good on a rice bowl.

My Cosori does this tofu perfectly at 400 degrees with the timing above, while the Ninja does it perfectly at 390 degrees. If you stop and shake the tofu after 8 minutes and you feel like it\u2019s a tad too dark golden at 400, just reduce the temp slightly for the last 5 to find your perfect temp. I would shoot for anything in the 375-400 range. Air fryer temps and performance will vary slightly!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-other-details\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"prep-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"detail-icon lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/templates\/designs\/bold\/images\/icon-clock.png\">Prep Time:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-prep-time\">5 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cook-time\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"detail-icon lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/templates\/designs\/bold\/images\/icon-clock.png\">Cook Time:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cook-time\">15 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"category\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"detail-icon lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/templates\/designs\/bold\/images\/icon-folder.png\">Category:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-category\">Dinner<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"method\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"detail-icon lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/templates\/designs\/bold\/images\/icon-squares.png\">Method:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-method\">Air Fryer<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cuisine\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"detail-icon lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pinchofyum.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/tasty-recipes\/templates\/designs\/bold\/images\/icon-flag.png\">Cuisine:<\/span> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-cuisine\">American<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-nutrifox\">\n<p>(function(){<br \/>\n\twindow.addEventListener( &#8216;message&#8217;, function( event ){<br \/>\n\t\tif ( ( &#8216;https:\/\/nutrifox.com&#8217; !== event.origin &amp;&amp; &#8216;https:\/\/nutrifox.test&#8217; !== event.origin ) ||<br \/>\n\t\t\ttypeof event.data !== &#8216;string&#8217; ) {<br \/>\n\t\t\treturn;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\tvar payload = JSON.parse( event.data );<br \/>\n\t\tswitch ( payload.event ) {<br \/>\n\t\t\tcase &#8216;setHeight&#8217;:<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tvar iframe = document.getElementById( &#8216;nutrifox-label-&#8216; + payload.recipeId );<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tiframe.style.height = payload.height + &#8216;px&#8217;;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tbreak;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t} );<br \/>\n}());<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-keywords\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.background-color\">\n<p data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-value-color.color\"><span class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"detail-label-color.color\">Keywords:<\/span> tofu recipe, air fryer tofu, crispy tofu, quick and easy tofu, vegetarian recipe<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"primary-color.background\">\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-content\">\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-copy\">\n<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you love this recipe?<\/h3>\n<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\">\n<p>I\u2019d love if you\u2019d leave a rating or review below!

You can either replace it with an additional tablespoon of cornstarch, or an equal value of breadcrumbs. If you use a bit of extra cornstarch, your batter might be a bit thicker, more like a paste.
