      air fryer?? i don’t know why that is super surprising that people do that with tofu but it is to me lol. I haven’t really tried making any crispy tofu yet, i’m just sticking with freezing extra firm tofu to make it chewier. what would you usually use the crispy tofu for?

        To clarify, I usually cut the tofu into smaller blocks before air frying.

        Crispy tofu can go with so many things.

        Making a ramen? Crispy tofu.

        Making stir fry? Crispy tofu.

        Making some basic beans and rice? Crispy tofu.

        Want a quick snack? Crispy tofu.
