- 1 tbsp Corn Starch
- 1/4 tsp Salt Kosher, of course
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garam Marsala Optional

- 1 tsp All Purpose Seasoning Optional
Press, and slice the tofu, thence press the slices
Cut the slabs to the size desired; I use a ~ 1" cube.
Toss all to coat well.
Spread on a wire rack so that cubes are not touching, thence rest 5 minutes
Oil the basket of an air fryer, place cubes in basket DO NOT CROWD,
Air Fry at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Checking occasionally
If using optional spice mixes, do make sure not to burn them during the air fry.
We are looking for a crispy coat. Once done, portion and freeze.
This is a great substitute for meat in any number of dishes.
Dependant on the air fryer, one may need to fry in batches, and one may need to flip the cubes and fry for additional time.
