Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 400 g tofu
  • 1.5 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • 2 tbsp dark soy
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • spray oil

Method
 

  1. Drain the tofu and wrap it in a dish cloth and gently press out the water by putting a heavy chopping board on top. Slice the tofu into cubes and put them in a bowl, then season with ground pepper and toss them in the cornflour till the tofu cubes are evenly coated.
  2. Preheat the airfryer to 185C or 365F. Add the in the tofu, spray over with oil and cook for 15 minutes. Depending on the tofu brand some might cook quicker than others so check half way to see how they are cooking. Once cooked the tofu cubes should be golden brown with crispy crust.
  3. While tofu cooks, peel and crush the garlic clove and mix it in a small jug with the soy sauces, sriracha and honey.
  4. Heat a pan with tsp olive oil. Add in the sauce, and on low to medium heat keep stirring till it simmers and starts to thicken. Add the the tofu and mix well till it is coated in the sauce. Serve with slices of spring onion, and sesame seeds taste nice with the tofu as well.

Notes

Serve with slices spring onion and slices of fresh chilli. This dish works well with rice.
