    I add the cubes to the wet mix, the soy sauce and the oil, and then I sprinkle the seasoning over the cubes in that container with the wet mix and tofu. After that, everything should all be in one place, and you shake.

      I’m just learning so I’m a bit lost.

      How do you mix the cornstarch and seasonings? Just take the 3tbspn of cornstarch and pop it into a bowl and put seasonings on it and then you toss it around and then sprinkle that over the tofu? Or is there more to “prep” them?

      That looks really good, by the way, and I’m about to cook more tofu tomorrow. I just started cooking tofu but couldn’t get it cripsy so I think this will do it.

        Put all the dry stuff in the same bowl, yes, so:

        • corn starch + garlic powder + onion powder + smoked paprika + salt + pepper all in one container

        I use a lid and just shake em around and after that, you got your dry mix!

        I sprinkle the mix over the tofu in a different container where I swished it around with soy sauce and olive oil.

        After you get the tofu coated with everything, you can pop it in the air fryer when it’s done preheating.

        It’s very simple.

            If you find a use for it, I don’t see why not! I try to not leave much leftover, though.

              Nope. Fucked that up. Haha

              I ended up cooking it up for 30 minutes at 400f because I couldn’t get the cornstarch to cook, it was still mostly as white as it was when I sprinkled it on the tofu. By the end of it, it was still there as if I hadn’t even cooked it. Tofu was cooked as fuck though. Oh well.
