    A $15-$20 tofu press is well worth the investment. Not only does it remove the water but because there is less water in the tofu, it takes less time on the stove or in an air frier for the tofu to develop a crunchy crust. I love my tofu press!

    What a terrific grandpa you are! I love that yr little guy loves tofu. So many kids his age would opt for chicken nuggets, and scream if they were asked to eat tofu. He’s gonna be a cool, healthy, open-minded young man. :)

    I just got an air fryer so was waiting to try this recipe - it is fantastic! I have been trying alot of different recipes on you tube but none are as good as this one! Previously I was making my tofu by baking with just the "breading" but the marinade and crispiness of the air fryer make a huge difference! I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with the public! How lucky you and your grandson are to have each other. My grandkids live out of state so I am missing so much of their growing up.

    You can also marinate in that ziploc bag. I feel like it soaks in somewhat quicker this way, as you can gently move the bag around more than a glass jar. You can also pre-freeze tofu (and then thaw it) to get more of that chewy texture.

    This looks really good, I'll make it with Tempeh when I get sn air fryer.
    What about the calcium added to tofu? There were news reports about calcium supplements causing strokes, heart attack, dementia plus more. I try buy only foods that don't add any supplements. There is tofu set in magnesium, I don'tsee them often, I'm not sure it's better than ones with added calcium. I sometimes eat tofu at restuarants but at home I cook with Tempeh because Light Life makes it with no added supplements or sodium, light life slso makes the best tasting tofu. I make most things with it that I use to make with tofu.
    Anyways it's something to consider, concerning calcium supplements, I personally don't think it's better for me to stop taking calcium supplements and then eat foods that manufacturers have added calcium supplements to. I get my calcium from food.
