Crispy Tofu for Brian

 My Husband Brian really likes tofu. Me, not so much. That's why I make tofu a lot for his lunch meal prep. I'd been testing ways to make the tofu crispy for some extra texture and this recipe is the winner. It's super simple to prep. Serve with a veggie stir fry or rice for a complete meal. 

Ingredients:
1 block tofu, extra firm
1 Tbsp. corn starch
Olive oil spray
1 tsp salt 
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce:
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
2 Tbsp. sweet chili sauce

Directions:

1. Cut the tofu block into 4 even slices and drain on a paper towel. Press the tofu gently to remove as much excess liquid as possible. 

2. Using your hands tear the tofu into large chunks and place into a bowl. You want lots of edges here instead of cubes. 

3. Add the corn starch, salt, and black pepper to the tofu bowl and gently mix until all of the tofu is evenly coated in corn starch. 

4. Place coated tofu in a single layer on an aluminum foil lined tray. Spray all over with the olive oil spray. Cook in an airfryer at 375 for about 6 minutes or until the tofu gets crispy. 

5. While the tofu bakes make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl large enough to toss the tofu in. Whisk to combine the sauce. 

6. Once the tofu is crispy add it to the sauce and stir until the tofu is evenly coated. Serve warm with your side dish of choice.
