Tofu
Learn how to prep tofu and then cook it 3 ways - baked, air fried and pan fried
Ingredients :
- 14 oz extra firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Directions :
- Place the tofu into a mixing bowl and toss in oil and soy sauce. Then sprinkle half of the cornstarch and gently toss or mix with a silicone spatula. Sprinkle remaining corn starch, salt & pepper over and gently stir in evenly coating the tofu with the cornstarch. See notes, if prepping tofu to be used in Indian dishes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the tofu on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 mins. Note: I always bake them for 15 to 20 mins without flipping them. But, for extra crispy, flip them after the first 15 to 20 mins and then bake for additional 15 mins.
- Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket with oil or line with perforated parchment paper. Line the marinated tofu and air fry at 380 degrees for 15 to 20 mins. I do not flip them half way through but you may if you like
