4. That sounds so yummy

Any tips for the air fried tofu and hoisin sauce?

5. I use a block of extra firm tofu.

Squeeze out water and cut into quarters, then cut into small cubes. For this dish I use only 2 of the quarters for 2 servings. Toss in a little bit of oil until coated. I air fry at 375 degrees for 8 minutes, giving the cubes a quick toss at the 4 minute mark. For the hoisin, I just used bottled hoisin that I thin out with a bit of veggie broth. You can add crispy tofu to so many dishes, soups, casseroles, stir-frys, spaghetti sauce. Very versatile. Hope you try it.

7. Crispy tofu

Drx I’ve used in the past have suggested tossing the cubes in cornstarch. Works pretty good.

I like your hoisin sauce tip; gonna’ give that a try.
