Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ block firm tofu pressed to remove excess liquid and cut into cubes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 green onions chopped
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl or zip-loc bag, thoroughly combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, ground ginger, and garlic powder.
Cover the tofu with this mixture and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer oven to 370°F ~ 400°F (204C).
Transfer the tofu to the air fryer basket, keeping any excess marinade for the sauce.
Cook the tofu for 20 minutes, or until crispy.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning the tofu halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.

In the meantime, thicken the sauce with the cornstarch over medium low heat.
Serve the cooked tofu with the sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Tofu is best served warm, so it's best to add it right before serving.
