Préparation

1
Pull the tofu into craggly, bite-sized chunks with your hands.

Toss the tofu chunks with the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Add the soy sauce and oil, tossing again to coat thoroughly.

Air fry the tofu at 180°C for 10 minutes. Shake or stir, then continue to air fry for another 5 minutes at 190°C, or until crispy and golden.

Whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and grated garlic in a bowl.
5
Place the crisped tofu in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup of the sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the tofu is glazed and caramelized.
6
Serve the tofu over rice with the remaining sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions and serve alongside green beans.
