📝 Preparation Steps
1
Press the tofu (optional step). Wrap the block of tofu in a kitchen towel or paper towels. Place a heavy cast iron skillet on top and let it sit for ⏱️ 30 minutes. This will help squeeze excess water out of the tofu, which will make it more crisp as it cooks.
2
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
3
In a large bowl, combine the oil, tamari, and sriracha. Cut the tofu into cubes, add it to the bowl, and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss again.

Place the tofu cubes into the air fryer basket in a single layer with a little space between each piece. Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 11 to ⏱️ 15 minutes, flipping halfway, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges. The exact timing will depend on your air fryer. Repeat with any remaining tofu.
