1. Press the Tofu

• Cut the tofu into cubes. Arrange them on a cutting board lined with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Cover with another layer of paper towels, place a baking sheet on top, and weigh it down with a heavy object (like a cast iron skillet or book). Press for 15 minutes. Alternatively, use a tofu press.

2. Marinate the Tofu

• In a bowl, add the pressed tofu cubes. Drizzle with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Gently toss to coat the pieces.
• Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss again to evenly coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes or longer (overnight if preferred).

3. Air Fry the Tofu

• Place the tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring the pieces don’t touch. (You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.)
• Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally after 10 minutes. Cook until golden and crispy.

4. Serve and Enjoy

• Remove from the air fryer and serve warm. Pair with rice, noodles, or your favorite dipping sauce.
