Bun chay inspired salad
Lots of chopping but definitely worth it. Coated the tofu in extra garlic sriracha and air fried. The dressing was a bit of an experiment as I didn't quite have ingredients from a recipe I found but it worked well anyway (light soy sauce, fresh lime juice, agave, raw garlic, chilli crisp)
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm blown away that you were able to get your tofu to come out like that by air frying. Every time I've tried it comes out dry and nowhere near as crispy looking. What's your secret?
Are you using a tofu press? Press tofu, marinate in sauce that includes a bit of sugar and a bit of oil, cook at higher temperature. That's it.
I am using a press, but the sugar/oil combo is something I've not tried yet. I'll try it out tonight though :D Thabks for the tip!
Any teriyaki type marinade should work reasonably well! I like to cook it around 250°C (480°F) in air fryer - just don't wander too far.
It might be to do with the type of tofu - I use a brand called Tofoo, it's pre-pressed and a lot denser than other types. It seems to crisp up better without getting dry
Aaah I see. I'll have to try a few others. Usually the only thing we have available near us reliably is Azumaya
