How To Treat Tofu To Make This Delicious Cuisine?
First of all, you have to take an entire block of tofu and ensure it must be drained and pressed. Then you have to cut into equal-sized cubes. After that, you have to coat them well with arrowroot starch and sesame oil. Make sure an even and thick coat has been wrapped over all tofu cubes. Then arrange them in the air fryer’s basket. Slide the basket in a preheated air fryer and let them cook for 20 minutes. This will make them profoundly cooked and crispier.
How to Make Sweet and Sour Sauce for This Tofu Cuisine?
You need some essential ingredients such as soy sauce, chili sauce, agave nectar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce. Then you have to pour all these ingredients into a deep pan and let them boil for a minute. You can also add tofu first and then boil and cook further. After adding tofu, you have to cook them at medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes so that all the flavors will penetrate deep inside the tofu.
