Step-by-step guide

Prepare the tofu

Press the tofu firmly with a dish towel to remove as much liquid as possible and make it really crispy. Then cut it into bite-sized cubes.

💡

The drier the tofu, the crispier the result.

Set up the basket path

Prepare three bowls: Pour the soy milk into the first, mix the flour, cornstarch, and half the spices in the second, and combine the cornmeal, crushed cornflakes, and the other half of the spices in the third.

Bread the tofu

First coat the tofu cubes in the soy milk, then in the flour mixture, again in the soy milk, and finally in the cornmeal-cornflake mixture until they are completely covered.

Fry until crispy

Bake the breaded tofu in the air fryer at approximately 200 °C until golden brown and crispy, or fry it in a pan with a little oil until browned on all sides.

🍿

In the air fryer, you need hardly any oil, and the tofu gets especially crispy.
