Préparation

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and grated garlic in a bowl.

  5. 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. 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.
