Sesame Ginger Air Fryer Tofu Recipe
For a Sesame Ginger Air Fryer Tofu Recipe, gather these ingredients: 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and 2 chopped green onions. Instructions: Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for 20 minutes. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic powder. Toss the tofu cubes in the mixture to coat evenly. Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss again until lightly coated. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the tofu in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring pieces don’t overlap. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden. Remove the tofu from the air fryer and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice or with steamed vegetables for a quick, flavorful meal. This recipe yields about 4 servings and takes roughly 35 minutes total, including prep time. Adjust cooking time slightly if needed, depending on your air fryer model. Enjoy the crispy texture and savory-sweet ginger kick!
