I have recently learned that the protein used in many fake-meat products come from soy beans. Vegetarian dishes at many Asian restaurants have fried tofu in them as the protein source. The thing is they are often fried in cheap vegetable oil that is re-used over and over. Buying locally made tofu and air fry it is a healthier alternative.
spray with some cooking spray, or none at all.
After 12 minutes at 400 degrees, the outside is crisp and golden.
I got my family into Tofu very easily. First I needed to dispel the bad feelings. You know, the tofu......yuck mindset.
Getting them to understand plain tofu has a similar taste as egg whites. I had them choose the flavors to add. Then I cooked the tofu & egg whites in similar way. After a blind taste test, family likes tofu.
Looks like I need to pick up some tofu for my air fryer.

I like to air fry the soft variety. It absorbs liquid better when cooked with other stuff. The picture I had above is of the hard variety -- not as easy to work with.

You can coat it with corn starch to give it that crunchy "Chinese restaurant Golden Triangles" texture. Here's a sample recipe.

Thanks. I guess it depends on the kind of food that is most suited for that. I like to use tofu in soupy noodles such as this dish here: a noodle soup with crab and shrimp meatballs and tofu. Also known as bun rieu.
oops, that's not good! When I did it, it turned out pretty good. Maybe use a bit less cornstarch? I don't really know.
Did you mix it with anything else? I tried it on my homemade onion rings.
