Bang Bang Tofu

Prep Tofu

Pull the tofu into craggly, bite-sized chunks with your hands.

Coat Tofu

Toss the tofu chunks with the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt to coat (I find it easiest to use my hands). Toss again with the soy sauce and oil to coat.

Air Fry Tofu

Air fry the tofu at 350 for 10 minutes. Shake or stir, then air fry for another 5 minutes at 375, or until the tofu is crispy and golden.

Make Sauce

Whisk the sauce ingredients together.

Sauce Tofu

Place the crisped tofu in a skillet over medium high heat. Add ¼ cup of sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the tofu is coated and caramelized. The sauce will melt into a glaze-like consistency on the tofu. If you want, you can repeat this process a few times to build flavor.

Serve

The tofu should already be sticky and delicious. Plate over rice, and drizzle or dollop the remaining sauce over the tofu (you can add a tablespoon or two of water to the sauce to thin it out, if you’d like). Top with sesame seeds or green onions! I always serve this with green beans. YUM.
