Step 1

Cut the tofu block into 8 equal sized pieces.

Step 2

Place tofu pieces on a paper towel. Place another paper towel on top of the tofu and lightly press to soak up excess water. Let the tofu sit for about ten minutes.

Step 3

Coat the tofu in the starch. Lightly brush off any excess.

Step 4

Spray a thin layer of oil onto the tofu making sure that there are not any dry spots left from the starch.

Step 5

Place the tofu in the air fryer and cook at 390F for 8 -10 minutes. Flip the tofu once at the 5-6 minute mark.

In a sauce pan, add the dashi stock and shimeji mushrooms. Mix in starch without heating the sauce pan. Once the starch is dissolved, simmer on medium heat to thicken the sauce.

Step 7
