How to make Fried Tofu with cornstarch using an air fryer

Prepare the tofu
Wash the tofu clean and cut it into small square pieces for easy eating.

Mixing Tofu
Put the cut tofu together with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce into a bowl. Then use a spoon and chopsticks to gently mix so that the tofu is evenly coated with the seasoning and marinate for about 3 minutes for the tofu to absorb the seasoning evenly.
Tip: To prevent the tofu from breaking, you should mix it very gently! -
Frying Tofu
Before frying the tofu, preheat the air fryer at 190 degrees Celsius for 4 minutes.
While waiting for the air fryer to heat up, use chopsticks to pick up each piece of marinated tofu and roll it evenly in cornstarch until the starch coats the tofu pieces evenly, then place them on a plate and wait for the air fryer to heat up before adding each piece of tofu.
Fry at 190 degrees Celsius for 18 minutes, then wait until the air fryer finishes frying; you can then transfer the tofu to a plate, add finely chopped green onions, and enjoy!

How to choose fresh and delicious tofu
- Good tofu that does not contain gypsum will have a creamy white color, feels light when picked up, has a smooth surface, and has a faint aroma of delicious soybeans.
- Avoid mistakenly buying pieces of tofu that are yellowing, feel heavy when picked up, and have a faint smell of lime, as these pieces may contain added gypsum, which is very unhealthy if consumed.
- To ensure safety, you should buy tofu from reputable tofu production stores or you can showcase your skills by making tofu at home with simple steps guided by TasteVN below!
