Air Fryer Crispy Tofu Recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound extra firm tofu amzn.to/3EIWuRW
¼ cup shoyu amzn.to/3JAxqjF
¼ cup brown sugar amzn.to/3qGVDw6
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
½ inch piece of ginger, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch amzn.to/342idHS
Directions:
1. For the tofu: Remove the tofu from the packaging and drain the water. Press tofu using a tofu press. If you don’t have a tofu press, place tofu on a paper towel set on a plate. Place another piece of paper towel over the tofu and place a heavy bottom pan, like a cast iron pan, over the tofu. Allow excess liquids to drain for at least 15 minutes.
2. For the marinade: Add shoyu, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Once tofu has been pressed, cut tofu into bite sized cubes. Place tofu on a cutting board and cut your block in half height wise. Stack the two pieces back on each other and cut into 4 strips lengthwise and 4 strips width wise.
4. Place the cubed up tofu in a baking dish or large bowl. Pour the marinade over and gently toss to combine. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
6. When you are ready to cook, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss to combine.
7. Place tofu in the air fryer in a single layer. Cook for 10-20 minutes or until golden brown, tossing the basket halfway through cooking. ENJOY!

I’m a big fan of eating and cooking with tofu. Tofu is seriously underrated. It is so versatile. I want to try this recipe. I make cooking videos too. So many people are shocked with how we can make tofu look & taste so good! 👍🏻 thanks for sharing!

Fantastic. My adult daughter is a vegitarian I can make this when she comes over. Thank you so much

[@KeepingItRelle]

Hope she enjoys it. Happy New Year.

[@jodilyn]

May I ask why your daughter is vegetarian? It must be for dietary reasons only, and not for animal rights ior compassionate reasons because if she is consuming dairy and/or eggs , those industries killed and torture and maim and abuse just as many animals as the meat industry.... just saying...

[@AnnhilateTheNihilist]

Get her on meat… she’ll live longer. Even if u have to sneak it in.

You had me smiling when you popped back with the oil that you had forgotten. 😆 Hawaiian humidity doesn't seem so bad tbh!

Haha. Thank you.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

So I did it on 200oC and it worked awesome.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Yay!

[@russbarker2727]

That looks absolutely delicious. I cook a lot of Indian food, and would be very interested in suggestions for tofu Indian style. Mahalo.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Mahalo! I'm not well versed in Indian food, but that sounds like a great combo.

[@koolnightes]

First time at cooking really.... did things kinda different...experiment.... I have a instant vortex and I used the rotisserie...at 400* for 20 minutes, instead of soy, I used Worcestershire sauce, but the rest was the same. it was not crispy, that could have been a couple of things, I didn't dry tofu enough and/or maybe I needed more cooking time in rotisserie? BUT, great, I will do it again and follow your soy recipe.. Thanks

[@KeepingItRelle]

If not crispy you'll have to take dry the tofu a little more. You can also toss it in the sauce after if you'd prefer.

[@kimberlylani4741]

Cool :)

[@KeepingItRelle]

Thank you

[@sdb1147]

OK Relle, another ono recipe. Getting hard time trying to keep up with you. Gotta run to my local HMart (Oriental food market) every time. Au’we. Nah, nah, just joking. Keep the recipes coming.

Peux tu mettre la liste des ingrédients en français stp merci et la manière de cuisiner aussi ?🇨🇵👍😀

[@KeepingItRelle]

Bien sûr. C'est ce que dit Google traduction... Recette de tofu croustillant à la friteuse à air Ingrédients: 1 livre de tofu extra ferme amzn.to/3EIWuRW ¼ tasse de shoyu amzn.to/3JAxqjF ¼ tasse de cassonade amzn.to/3qGVDw6 2 gousses d'ail, hachées finement ½ pouce de morceau de gingembre, tranché 1 cuillère à soupe de fécule de maïs amzn.to/342idHS Les directions: 1. Pour le tofu : Retirez le tofu de l'emballage et égouttez l'eau. Presser le tofu à l'aide d'une presse à tofu. Si vous n'avez pas de presse à tofu, placez le tofu sur une serviette en papier posée sur une assiette. Placez un autre morceau de papier absorbant sur le tofu et placez une casserole à fond épais, comme une casserole en fonte, sur le tofu. Laisser l'excès de liquide s'écouler pendant au moins 15 minutes. 2. Pour la marinade : Ajouter le shoyu, la cassonade, l'ail et le gingembre dans un petit bol. Mélanger jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient bien combinés. 3. Une fois le tofu pressé, coupez le tofu en cubes de la taille d'une bouchée. Placez le tofu sur une planche à découper et coupez votre bloc en deux dans le sens de la hauteur. Empilez les deux morceaux l'un sur l'autre et coupez-les en 4 bandes dans le sens de la longueur et 4 bandes dans le sens de la largeur. 4. Placer le tofu coupé en cubes dans un plat allant au four ou un grand bol. Versez la marinade dessus et mélangez délicatement. Laisser mariner 15 minutes. 5. Préchauffez la friteuse à air à 400F. 6. Lorsque vous êtes prêt à cuisiner, saupoudrez de fécule de maïs sur le tofu et mélangez. 7. Placez le tofu dans la friteuse à air en une seule couche. Cuire pendant 10 à 20 minutes ou jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient dorés, en remuant le panier à mi-cuisson. PRENDRE PLAISIR!

Is there anything we can use instead of wine?

[@KeepingItRelle]

No wine in this recipe

[@soniawagenmanngrundies1787]

What is woadder?

[@KeepingItRelle]

Not sure

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Aloha howzit Relle I'm Luke, Looks good! Mahalo for the recipe, I hope you don't mind if I shout out your channel in my live stream here and there!!! Mahalo =)

[@KeepingItRelle]

Aloha Luke. Mahalo for your kind words. I appreciate it!

[@johnhricko8212]

no sesame oil in the marinade?...

[@KeepingItRelle]

You can totally add some if you'd like

[@theadoresmith2777]

Tried the recipe ... I'm not a vegesaurus mind ... so I just don't get Tofu. Covered with all kinds of batter, or breadcrumbs or spice mixes, it still tastes like you are eating cheesecloth. Back to crumbed chicken tenders for me.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Thanks for sharing

[@liammcauley7572]

Its myth that tofu absorbs marinades so I wish vegans would stop lying about that issue. I didn't see a crisp test at the end of the cooking so that too was bad form. It was a nicely presented video though so well done.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Thanks for your input

[@cy4330]

This same recipes is all over KZbin not sure who started it but everyone seems to copy the same recipe, same ingredients, same procedure. Do people just copy other youtubers to make their videos for views?

[@KeepingItRelle]

Not sure how other people do it. I like to just share the recipes that I make so others can get ideas of recipes to make.

[@wuwu6384]

not healthy

[@KeepingItRelle]

The great thing about recipes is that you can adapt the recipe to your liking and needs. Have a great day.

[@thepunadude]

GREAT! TOFU, THE MALE TESTOSTERONE KILLER! LOOK AT ASIAN (MINI)MEN .. YOU TELL ME?!?!?

[@KeepingItRelle]

Let's keep this channel a positive place for people to come and enjoy recipes. If you don't like a recipe or an ingredient you are more than welcome to scroll on by. Appreciate the understanding.

[@Shelsight]

Bro wolf - Rather sad that you would make such a pointless comment. Tofu is an amazing protein and millions of men all over the world eat it. If you want to make unscientific generalisations, then pls take yr toxic masculinity issues elsewhere and let people enjoy an absolutely wonderful recipe.
