Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Ca. 15 min.
Kokkens note: Pressing the tofu is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
Ca. 1 min.
3
Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
4
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated tofu and gently toss until each piece is lightly coated.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: The cornstarch helps create a crispy exterior.
5
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
Ca. 3 min.
6
Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it.

Kokkens note: Cook in batches if necessary for optimal crispiness.
