Steps:
- Drain tofu and cut into cubes or desired shapes. Press for at least 30 minutes with a clean, lint-free kitchen towel or a few paper towels. (I recommend against skipping this step! The oil will splatter much more if there is a lot of excess liquid in your tofu, which can be dangerous. It can also take longer to crisp up.)
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch, salt and pepper, and optional spices. Add in the pressed tofu and toss to thoroughly coat. (As a shortcut, I like to place all the ingredients in a container with a lid and shake it until the tofu is fully coated.) Let the tofu sit in the cornstarch mixture while you heat your vegetable oil.
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan, heat at least 1/2″ oil to 350°F. (I highly recommend using a thermometer to ensure the oil is hot enough! If it’s not, your tofu will take longer to fry and may not get as crispy. It will also retain more oil.) While the oil heats, prepare a tray with a wire cooling rack (my preference) or a paper towel-lined plate to let excess oil drip off.
- Carefully add tofu to the oil and fry 3-5 minutes before flipping and frying for an additional 3-5 minutes. The cornstarch coating will be crispy and light golden brown when ready.
- Remove to wire cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate. Toss with sauce of choice and serve while still hot and crispy.

Steps:
- Toss tofu cubes, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Toss well, cover, and transfer to the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes to an hour. Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, salt and black pepper. Working in batches if necessary, toss tofu in the cornstarch mixture until thoroughly coated. Shake off excess cornstarch and add tofu in a single layer to the air fryer basket Spray the cubes with a bit of cooking spray and air fry the tofu for 15 minutes, tossing half way through, until it is golden and crispy. Prepare the sauce: While the tofu cooks, in a large bowl, whisk together mayo, chili sauce, sriracha, and grated garlic. Season to taste with salt and set aside. When all the tofu is cooked, add the tofu and toss in the sauce. Serve over white rice, and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

CRISPY TOFU AND CABBAGE STIR-FRY RECIPE - NYT COOKING
This tumble of crisp tofu, charred cabbage and citrusy coriander includes a couple tricks you’ll want to employ in other dishes. The flavor of the stir-fry is propelled by using the coriander plant multiple ways: Combining coriander seeds with fresh stems and leaves — also known as cilantro — creates a range of complex but related flavors. Then there’s what might be the quickest — and your new favorite — way to cook cabbage: When large pieces of cabbage are cooked undisturbed in a hot pan, they don’t have a chance to turn to mush. Instead, the cabbage becomes sweet and crisp-tender, with a smoky edge. Eat the stir-fry with grains or noodles, like rice noodles or soba.
