30 min
Ingredients
- 1 block Extra-firm Tofu
- 2 tbsp White Miso Paste
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Fresh Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 2 whole Green Onions
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes using a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy pan on top to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha until smooth.
- Break the pressed tofu into 1-inch chunks and add them to the bowl. Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and drizzle with avocado oil. Toss once more until the coating is even on all pieces.
- Arrange the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Cook at 450°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Transfer to a serving dish and top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
