    when people trell me tofu doesnt have any flavor i ask them how often do they eat unseasoned chicken.

    • @iVenge
      @iVenge 3 роки тому +1

      Spot on. Chicken tastes like almost nothing without seasoning.

    My husband bought an air fryer a couple weeks ago & all I could think of was a dish like this. I made this recipe tonight (air fried tofu & sauce mix like described here) for us, except with a homemade stir fry veggie mix over rice. It was delicious. My husband loved it, he loves tofu too but no meat was necessary for him & we both were very satisfied.👌☺

    I have made this recipe four times and just love it. Nice easy delicious lunch. I use the sauce on lots of other things like fish and veggies. Excellent! Thanks Sam

    no need to apologize for tofu..tofu is a bean..Do Beans have flavour? Most bean dishes are dependant on salt and condiments for their success..Its the texture and low fat qualities which are important in beans...and the low cost ..Great video..I just got an air fryer..they are the best innovation in kitchen gadgets next to the Blender.....thanks!

  • @grenier70

    This makes me want to buy an air frier. What I do with my tofu is freeze it first... then thaw and weight it. The freezing makes it chewier. Fun vid. 👍 from 🇨🇦

    I should have watched this before I made mine. love this. thanks for sharing ill redo it right the next time. I didn't use any type of cornstarch I just drained it really well and put it in pretty raw with some great seasonings on it paprika, Southwest salt-free seasoning, parsley flakes, & a little kosher salt...I rubbed avocado oil on them before I put them in the basket it turned out pretty good in the end but it wasn't crispy LOL

  • @Erin-sr9ii

    Made this tonight and it is fantastic. Tasty crunchy appetizer (tonight) or a main dish with veggies and sauce over rice (next time). Quick and so good. No need to marinate the tofu if the sauce is good. Thank you Sam!

  • @dwaynewladyka577
    @dwaynewladyka577 7 років тому +5

    Amazing texture for something that is air fried. I don't mind tofu at all. It is a safer and healthier alternative to fry foods this way.

  • @mega1ove
    @mega1ove 5 років тому

    I tried this method along with a batch with just sesame oil. The batch without the cornstarch ended up tasting and looking better to me but both was pretty meh. I agree that the bean flavor is intensified by frying it this way. It needs a serious dose of seasoning or tons of sauce.

    @LeNguyen-im8dm 5 років тому +2

    LOL. You are called an egg. Outside is white, but inside is yellow. You have a very Asian taste. LOL. Exactly how many Vietnamese chiefs fried tofu at restaurants. Also, the sauce you make also very Asian. I used to work at Vietnamese restaurants, and I took a lot of order of fried tofu. Fried tofu is simple, but it tastes so delicious with soy sauce. I love your video.

    Ok, that looks great. I love tofu. I don't eat it often 'cause it only tastes good to me when fried, and that's not healthy. I have an air fryer, but didn't know I could use it to make crispy tofu. This is great news. Now I can eat tofu without having to deep fry it, which is so unhealthy.
    Tofu tastes amazing with just some light salt. I don't usually add any weird flavors, but maybe the sesame oil would be ok. Going to try it. Thanks.

    • @Onew92
      @Onew92 5 років тому

      Mugen Next time, you can try replacing dipping sauce by soy sauce (any kind of it) with a pinch of garlic powder. Believe me, it will be another horizon 😁👌🏻

    Hey Sam,
    Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this video with me because I haven't been able to master air fried tofu yet despite my mom and I investing in one during Amazon Prime Day and it was one of the reasons why we bought it in the first place...much appreciated from someone who has decided to become a full time vegan ...😏😏😏😏
    By the way, where do you get your sesame oil from because I tend to kinda use it frequently, especially if I do stir fry, fried rice, or Asian noodles
    Have a safe healthy terrific Thursday morning...bon appetit

  • @ssssyther
    @ssssyther 6 років тому +3

    I just made this today and I have a few tips for people:
    If you make this to eat at a later time like I did, do not seal it into a tight container or your crispy tofu cubes will become chewy tofu cubes... You really want to get that sauce right because that is where the bulk of the flavor is for this dish. If it's lacking in heat like mine was, add some chili flakes.

  • @walterbyrd8380
    @walterbyrd8380 6 років тому +2

    Having to press the tofu sucks. Also having to turn it over every 5 minutes sucks.
    Could you do the same in a convection oven?

      Rock Singer, actually no I don't have a large kitchen. You would be surprised; air fryers really don't take up that much space. I push mine under the cabinet and/or put it on top of the fridge when not in use. It's so much easier/safer/healthier, etc., than using the deep fryer. I just love mine. :-)

      If you can't make tofu taste good, you're not a good or creative cook. Been eating meat all my life. Cut it out of my diet, started cooking dishes myself and within three nights I was making some of the best dishes I've ever had.
      Seitan is great too.
