Air Fryer Crispy Tofu Recipe

[@maggieattenborrow6725]

Love that there is no silly chatter on this video, just good, clear and easy to follow instructions.

[@tedoymisojos]

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.

[@JAUSofHAPPYKARMA]

thanks!

[@renayusufova4584]

How much cornstarch do you add? Thank you.

[@marlasinger1276]

thank you!!!

[@Allie-ck2lj]

@@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.

[@mlee40738]

Thanks!

[@catherinelw9365]

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.

[@jameskenny1302]

Yes that works really well. It soaks up flavour much better if it yas been frozen.

[@truthseeker8328]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been cooking tofu for years…. this is by far the best and easiest recipe! The results are stupendous!!

Like watching every cut and dice of a hundred long green onion and there’s still 10 more veggies to cut 😳

[@sueprice3315]

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.

[@MR-pr8tp]

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.

[@nateroo]

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!!!

[@masonwalter5815]

I’m glad you used ingredients I actually have instead of crazy stuff

[@moxiemaxie3543]

Omg, thank you! First tutorial that worked with my air fryer. Tip: Get as much moisture out as you can

[@xvxv711]

Use extra firm and press for about 30 minutes

[@gailgriffiths6259]

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!!

[@TigerCraneLove]

Freeze and thaw then press.

[@dekoomers]

Next time I would love you to cut one in half so we can hear the texture and see the insides, awesome video!

[@mominsherazi2087]

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! :)

[@hiyalldoin]

THANK YOU! looks fantastic! i can hardly wait to try this!

[@aarongranger]

Just finished our lunch of crispy tofu. I am absolutely astounded at how well the recipe worked. TYVM

[@zocuad6710]

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.

[@DavidPerez-sj6md]

Wouldn't you want the cornstarch on the outside for a better crust??

[@zocuad6710]

@@DavidPerez-sj6md You can always add more or dip the tofu in cornstarch if you prefer.

[@eoghan375]

@@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

[@aznamoon1111]

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

[@callycharles2515]

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.

[@AVspectre]

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!

[@deliafidelia]

[@CruzCruz-nw7fi]

I’ve recently become addicted to eating tofu it really satisfies the appetite, I think it prolongs hunger too , all that protein too such a good food

[@CrayolaCrack]

Cornstarch is my go to for frying anything! Gives a different taste and texture that I like.

[@jo-anneanderson1021]

OMG Hank, Your Tofu recipe is the reason I NEED an Air Fryer ..... Well done Chef !

[@terrielynnevans8829]

Fantastic! Love the no nonsense presentation!

[@VisualizeHealing]

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!

[@gailgriffiths6259]

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...

[@MaryRooneyStanford]

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.

[@Angiewalker79]

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.

Just FYI if using extra virgin olive oil, keep in mind that temp should be 340 degrees or lower as beyond 350 is the smoke point which we want to avoid

[@otaku3OBSESSION]

In general, I dont fry things in low smoke point oils. Olive oil does best as a flavoring oil rather than cooking oil. You can still do it of course.

[@judy-love1]

The smoke point of a genuine Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 410°F so that means it's a great choice for all your cooking needs, whether you are deep frying, sauteeing or stir frying.

My upright freezer died and I have a few packages of tofu thawing. Looking for recipes and will definitely be trying this one. It's similar to another that I've tried but much simpler. The only thing I would change is the starch, can't have corn and use avocado oil vs olive oil. I never cook with olive oil and use it on salads or any fresh recipe that calls for oil.

[@sherryfatzinger3082]

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. 👍👍
