Ingredients

SALT AND PEPPER 1 package 14 to 18 ounces firm tofu or extra firm tofu

TOFU 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Oil for spraying or brushing
2 garlic cloves minced
2 green onions thinly sliced
1 to 3 chile peppers thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sesame oil

½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Pinch ground Sichuan peppercorn optional

Instruction

Drain the tofu (20 minutes is good an hour is better. You
can use your hand press out water or you can cover with
clothe and put a heavy can good on top.)
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Toss the tofu cubes in the cornstarch to coat well.
Arrange the tofu pieces in the air fryer basket and spray
orbrush all over with oil (please see the note on using oil
sprays with air fryers below!)
Air fry to tofu at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until it is
beginning to turn golden brown.

Put the minced garlic, green onions, sliced chile peppers,
and sesame oil in a medium bowl. When the air fryer
finishes the cycle, remove the tofu from the air fryer basket
and add it to the bowl with the garlic and chiles. Toss to
mix. Return the mixture to the air fryer, spread it out in a
single layer, and then air fry again at 375°F for 5 minutes
more, until the tofu is golden brown all over.

Garnish with salt, black pepper, white pepper, five-spice
powder, and Sichuan pepper, if using.
Serve immediately.
No Air Fryer. No worries. Use your best deep fry
pay. Don't drop all because they will stick
together. Put in as many a you can keep
separate.
