Steps:
- Remove the tofu from the package and drain. With your hands, gently squeeze out as much water as you can without breaking or crushing the block. Lay the tofu flat on a cutting board so the longer edge is towards you, then cut it into four strips. Rotate the strips so that the wider (cut sides) are flat against the cutting board and cut them in half again those you have 8 strips total. Cut the strips crosswise into cubes that are about 1 inch in size (I end up with 5 cubes per strip).
- Line a cutting board or large plate with a clean tea towel (or similar lint-free kitchen towel) or paper towels. Spread the tofu cubes onto it in one layer and lay a second towel on top. Press gently but firmly and change out the towel as needed. The idea is to remove as much water from the tofu as possible.
- In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, syrup, oil, garlic powder, ginger, and hot sauce.
- Place the tofu in a shallow baking dish or medium mixing bowl. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu, then with your hand, toss gently to combine. Let the tofu sit for 15 minutes, tossing it again halfway through. Don't worry if a few bits crumble. Those will turn deliciously crispy.
- If you'd like to keep the tofu warm between batches, preheat your oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F according to the manufacturer's instructions (for my air fryer, that is 3 minutes of preheat time).
- Just before cooking, sprinkle the corn starch evenly over the top of the tofu and toss to coat.
- Coat the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray. Add the tofu in one layer, leaving a little space around the cubes so that they do not touch and the air can circulate (depending upon the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook it in two or three batches).
- Cook the tofu for 9 minutes, slide the basket out and shake it gently to toss the tofu, then continue cook for 2 to 4 additional minutes, tossing and checking it each minute, until the tofu is crisp and dark golden (the time will vary based on your air fryer; keep a close eye on it towards the end to make sure it doesn't burn). If desired, transfer the tofu to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish the rest.
- Repeat with remaining tofu, discarding any excess marinade (if you have some crumbled bits of tofu in the bottom of the bowl, you can air fry those too). Enjoy!

AIR-FRIED TOFU COATED WITH QUINOA FLAKES
Quinoa flakes are a flavorful and healthy substitute for bread crumbs. Mix them with some herbs and nutritional yeast and you have a crispy, delicious coating for tofu. Cooking in the air fryer eliminates the need for oil. Serve these with your favorite dipping sauce as an appetizer or alongside vegan mashed potatoes and a salad for a vegan meal.

Steps:
- Squeeze the liquid from the block of tofu by wrapping it in a clean towel and pressing it with a weight.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Set up a breading station with 3 shallow bowls, not too wide, and one flat plate. Put the cornstarch in one, and unsweetened soy milk in another. In the last one, add the quinoa flakes, nutritional yeast, oregano, sage, rosemary, and pepper. Mix with a fork. Leave the plate for the finished tofu.
- Slice the slab of tofu into pieces that are approximately 1/2-inch thick and approximately 2 inches in length and width. They should be able to be handled easily without breaking.
- Dredge each slice in cornstarch first. Dip each piece in the soy milk. Coat the slices with the quinoa flake mixture, tapping to shake off the excess. Place each coated tofu piece on the empty plate. Add as many pieces that will fit without touching into the air fryer basket.
- Cook until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. There is no need to flip the pieces and do not shake the basket. The coating is light and will come off easily if not cooked through. When the tofu pieces are browned and crispy, remove them and continue cooking the remaining pieces. Serve warm.
