Tofu Marinade (30 min in fridge): 1 tbs garlic powder 1tbs onion powder 1tsp smoked paprika 3 tbs sesame oil 3 tbs low sodium soy sauce Coat tofu in cornstarch and then air fry at 370 for 20 minutes.
@@renayusufova4584 Just add enough cornstarch to coat the tofu. You''ll notice, that Hank doesn't add much cornstarch, just sprinkles some on top. (For me, I sometimes roll the tofu in a bowl of cornstarch, dip in milk, egg or more sauce and roll once again in cornstarch). I'll try most recipe 'as written' the first time I try the recipe, then I'll personalize the recipe and make changes to suit my taste.
My Korean mother always froze the tofu first, thawed, drained, then pressed out the liquid. Freezing the tofu changes its texture so it's more dry and spongy, making it more crispy.
This was the first recipe I made using my IP air fryer lid, and came out great. I just made them a second time, and this time I cut the block of tofu into 16 pieces rather than 9. Instead of 20 minutes, I did 18 min; 1 less minute each side.
I used to put 5 books..for two hours on my tofu..the result was dried up tofu cubes...so dry thar the corn starch would come out of my mouth like a cloud..this us better!!
Great presentation of one of my favorite snacks... but it's great because you get right to it, no monologue, no banter before finally getting to the reason for the vid...you get right to it. That's a great presentation!! And delicious lookin' crispy tofu!!!! Thanx huge!!!
Just made this! 😋 I only substituted corn flour with rice flour because I didn’t have the former. It tastes like vegan chicken nuggets 🥰. Thank you for this amazing recipe
Love the video, I am going to make this for dinner tonight thank you! If I could give one piece of constructive criticism, please consider adding the recipe/measurements to the video descriptions for future recipes, would save a lot of time when it comes to following along. Just a suggestion, thank you again! :)
This is a great recipe. The only thing I do different is I leave the tofu in the bag then I put the cornstarch in the bag. This absorbs the cornstarch a lot better.
@@zocuad6710 yes but the cornstarch isnt there for tastte or to be absorbed in the marinade. its literally for the cripsy texture alone. so youre not achieving anything doing this
Great video. If you want a healthy version though, omit the extra oil as it's not needed to crisp the tofu in the air fryer. I add fresh ginger and garlic to mine and only one teaspoon of sesame oil and don't flip it in the air fryer because it's being evenly cooked all around since that's what an air fryer does!
Probably not the o lot one thinking this but I don’t see them enough: tofu press. They are amazing. The days is stacked plates and paper towels are over. Lovely recipe and thank you.
Im preparing mine right now. I already had the tofu and seasons. Even without the onions, i think it will taste delicious! Tofu is marinating as I write! Thank you for the easiest recipe😋
Thank you. So delicious. You make it so easy to make. I love my air fryer it’s the best purchased I ever made. Hope you have more recipes for the air fryer. Best of health.
So happy to see this in my feed! I have firm Tofu in my refrigerator and wasn't sure how I was going to make it - now I know. Thank you so much!! 9/17/24: Edited to say that I made these and they are GOOD! The texture and firmness were the best I've made yet.
Thanks for sharing!! I bought the same brand of tofu and cooked the same way, so yummy!! This tofu brand taste much better than other brand in my opinion!
Looks delish! Thank you for posting, love the spices you used and oils. Just got an air fryer as a gift and already bought firm tofu. . Mmmmm Many blessings!
Tofu cooked with an air fryer always turns out delicious. I will often add seasonings and corn starch to the tofu before cooking in the air fryer. The corn starch adds a little bit of a crispy texture.

Thank you so much friend for your detailed easy to follow recipe 😀. We have just got an air fryer so will give it a try. Wishing you a very good day and greetings from England 🇬🇧 Beth and Simon 🙋👍♥️
trying out this recipe! doctor said I need to go on a diet and decrease my meat intake due to kidney stones ! So I will be using this recipe more often ❤
I made this today and followed your directions nearly perfectly. I put half in the air fryer and half I fried in the skillet. I must say that the skillet fried were much better and less dry. I will keep the marinade recipe but skip the air fryer next time. Thanks for sharing!
Omg..thank you for making it so simple..step by step..no describing what type of shoes YOUR WEARING..or making us wait while it cooks, just so you can pontificate about the ways of the " universe" or why YOU know sooo much about TOFU...
I would use just a little less oil and add some red chili 🌶 flakes. I love my spices. Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊. I am vegan I am always eating Tofu, I love it. I will have to purchase an air fryer when I can. 👍👍
@David Bendall Hello, and thank you. I know about labeling information. Please, do not hate. It is great you are informing many. I love all the information you have placed in your reply. You are well informed, and notes have been taken. I also read my labels and have taken many nutrition classes. I even look for the fine print. You know the one that adds May be made in factories where milk and / or eggs are used. Thank you again for your help with my lifestyle. Please have a pleasant day, evening, week, and weekend. May I add all of 2023.
Excellent recipe, thanks for posting! I've seen these same steps in different postings before, but yours are orderly and logical, easy to remember! 🙂 I'll be making this soon! I don't have an air fryer, but I do have a convection oven which should have similar results.
This looks GREAT! With the ingredients used, it just has to be delicious and it looks so easy to make. I am going to make this in a convection oven as I don't have an air fryer, which means I may have to cook it longer and it may not come out as crispy, though I am sure I'm going to love this - and with your recipe I don't have to guess at the proportions. Thank you.

Love that there is no silly chatter on this video, just good, clear and easy to follow instructions.
I agree. I don’t need 5mn of introduction, just get to the cooking.
My Korean mother always froze the tofu first, thawed, drained, then pressed out the liquid. Freezing the tofu changes its texture so it's more dry and spongy, making it more crispy.
Yes that works really well. It soaks up flavour much better if it yas been frozen.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!
I'm gonna try that method once I whip up air fried tofu for the first time next week. Let y'all know how it turns out.
@@jaguar5198 so … how did it go
I’m glad you used ingredients I actually have instead of crazy stuff
I’ve been cooking tofu for years…. this is by far the best and easiest recipe! The results are stupendous!!
Thank you for having no distracting ugly music! Can't wait to try this. They look great.
Hank, thanks for getting right to the recipe unlike many other videos on RUclips. It's much appreciated.
Serious
The same
L
Yes I totally agree thank you
Like watching every cut and dice of a hundred long green onion and there’s still 10 more veggies to cut 😳
Honestly, I love the no nonsense approach. Direct and no frills. Great video!
I subscribed.
Simple instructions without that unnecessary talk. I was looking for quick easy fried tofu instructions and this worked great!
This was the first recipe I made using my IP air fryer lid, and came out great. I just made them a second time, and this time I cut the block of tofu into 16 pieces rather than 9. Instead of 20 minutes, I did 18 min; 1 less minute each side.
Thanks for your straightforward video and finally learned to air fry tofu and is my "go to" protein source now as I avoid meat and processed foods.
Next time I would love you to cut one in half so we can hear the texture and see the insides, awesome video!
Omg, thank you! First tutorial that worked with my air fryer.
Tip: Get as much moisture out as you can
Use extra firm and press for about 30 minutes
I used to put 5 books..for two hours on my tofu..the result was dried up tofu cubes...so dry thar the corn starch would come out of my mouth like a cloud..this us better!!
Freeze and thaw then press.
Great presentation of one of my favorite snacks... but it's great because you get right to it, no monologue, no banter before finally getting to the reason for the vid...you get right to it. That's a great presentation!! And delicious lookin' crispy tofu!!!! Thanx huge!!!

My wife was so disappointed you didn’t cut/bite inside, but I think that’s a sign you made them look tasty. We’ll be giving it a try - thanks!
IKR? 😂
This is a great recipe. The only thing I do different is I leave the tofu in the bag then I put the cornstarch in the bag. This absorbs the cornstarch a lot better.
Wouldn't you want the cornstarch on the outside for a better crust??
@@DavidPerez-sj6md You can always add more or dip the tofu in cornstarch if you prefer.
@@zocuad6710 yes but the cornstarch isnt there for tastte or to be absorbed in the marinade. its literally for the cripsy texture alone. so youre not achieving anything doing this
I love the idea of using the air fryer and basic ingredients that we all have at home or are easy to find at any grocery store. Thanks!
I love the idea that no animals were killed for dinner!!!
I came out crispy, delicious, just perfect! Thanks for the great, easy recipe.
Fantastic! Love the no nonsense presentation!
OMG Hank, Your Tofu recipe is the reason I NEED an Air Fryer ..... Well done Chef !

Tofu, is very good.

How'd it turn out
@@criconinvestments7723 Nobody will ever know
@@z0nx 🤣
Cornstarch is my go to for frying anything! Gives a different taste and texture that I like.
Looks gorgeous. Delighted with this recipe- I’ve only just started using tofu. I’m still an omnivore but I lean towards vegetarian and vegan food.
This looks like a great way to air fry tofu!
I made this my son for dinner. He loved it. It really taste great! Thank you for sharing.
I tried this today! I cut mine into smaller chunks and made a sriracha mayo for dipping! Pleasantly surprised how good it is🙂 thanks
Did they actually turn out crispy?
smart
@@TheNewHope2010 yes. I was kinda worried they would turn out mushy but they had a nice crisp on the outside.
