Instructions
- 1
Drain and pat dry tofu with a paper towel.
- 2
Let it rest on top of a paper towel on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes as you prepare the seasoning ingredients.
- 3
Cube the block of tofu into 1-inch cubes. Don't worry if they are not perfectly uniform.
- 4
Preheat the air fryer to 390F for 5 minutes.
- 5
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare batter and breadcrumb coating.
- 6
In a medium mixing bowl, add all the dry batter ingredients. Mix well and then add in water. Mix well until you have a smooth pancake batter-like consistency. Add a little bit of water if the batter is too thick.
- 7
Add panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- 8
Dip each piece of tofu into the batter and then coat on the panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the tofu pieces are evenly coated.
- 9
Place breaded tofu pieces into the air fryer carefully. You may wish to line the air fryer with air fryer parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- 10
Air fry the tofu at 390F for 20 minutes (I use the Ninja Foodi, and I love it!). Flipping halfway and checking at the 10-minute mark.
- 11
While the tofu is the air fryer, prepare the salt and pepper seasoning.
- 12
Minced bird's eye chilli, jalapeno, garlic, and shallots.
- 13
Add minced bird's eye chilli, jalapeno, garlic, shallots, and salt and ground white pepper in a small mixing bowl. Mix well. At this halfway mark between air frying, season and toss the tofu with the dry seasoning. Gently coat all sides.
- 14
Carefully remove from the air fryer, serve and enjoy.
