Step 1
Wrap a block of extra firm tofu into 2 sheets of paper towel, place on a plate and weigh it down with something heavy like a cast iron pan to drain the water. Let it drain for 30-40 minutes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl combine the cornstarch and salt. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss in the spice mixture.
Step 3
Arrange in an air fryer in a single layer, then spray with a cooking spray, toss and spray again to ensure the tofu cubes are evenly coated. Air fry at 200C/400F for 12-15 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Open your air fryer and toss once again half way through the cooking. •Alternatively you can fry the tofu cubes in 1 tbsp of oil until crispy.
Step 4
Prepare the sauce by mixing the hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger and chilli oil. To a large pan add the sauce and bring to a simmer, then add the crispy tofu bites and toss to coat until well glazed.
