Air-fried tofu that is seasoned on the inside, crispy on the outside, and dipped in a sweet-heat sauce for a party in your mouth with every bite. Serve in lettuce wraps if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 green onion, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place tofu onto a plate lined with several paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and another plate. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top and press tofu for 30 minutes. Drain and discard any accumulated liquid and cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place cubed tofu in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil. Gently stir and let sit for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, make bang bang sauce by whisking mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha sauce together until smooth. Place panko in a separate bowl.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 5
Mix tofu with 1/2 cup bang bang sauce until evenly combined. Coat tofu in the panko bread crumbs and place in the basket of the air fryer, making sure tofu pieces do not overlap. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
Step 6
Cook for 5 minutes. Shake and cook for 3 minutes more. Garnish with green onion and serve with remaining bang bang sauce.
