Chef’s Tip: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake your tofu at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy.
Directions
- Place tofu on a rack set on a sheet pan. Place a plate holding something heavy over tofu and let it rest to drain, for 15-30 minutes. When ready, cut into 1” cubes and drizzle with 2 Tbsp soy sauce. Let tofu marinate for 10 minutes.
- In shallow bowl, combine Farm Boy™ Panko Breadcrumbs, Farm Boy™ Sesame Seeds, 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Cornstarch, Farm Boy™ Granulated Garlic and Onion, Farm Boy™ Organic Cayenne, salt, and pepper. Dredge tofu slices in this mixture to coat all sides.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Place tofu on greased or parchment lined rack and cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking every so often, until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, in small saucepan place remaining 4 Tbsp soy sauce, water, lime juice, minced ginger, Farm Boy™ Garlic Flowers, Farm Boy™ White Liquid Honey, Farm Boy™ Heat Wave Hot Sauce, and sesame oil.
- In a small cup, make a slurry with 1 Tbsp water and remaining 1 tsp Farm Boy™ Cornstarch.
- Bring soy-honey mixture to a boil and add cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
- Toss tofu with sauce and green onions. Serve with rice, steamed broccoli, and cucumbers. Garnish with sesame seeds.
