PRINTABLE RECIPE FOR CRUNCHY FIVE SPICE TOFU: http://www.marystestkitchen.com/air-fryer-crunchy-five-spice-tofu/ If you haven't figured out how to make tofu taste good yet, this is the recipe for you! It's such an easy tofu recipe. You start with extra firm tofu. It has the meatiest quality when it comes to tofu types. It's usually the tofu to pick when you want to make tofu taste like chicken. Drain and pat the tofu dry. Then break it up into bite sized chunks, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze the water out of it. The more water you squeeze out, the better. Then you can replace that water with flavour! In this tasty tofu recipe, we add a really delicious Chinese Five Spice marinade made of Chinese Five Spice powder (of course), Chinese black vinegar, dark soy sauce (it's more concentrated without being more salty compared to regular soy sauce) maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt. It soaks in right away because that pressed tofu is like a sponge! Then, spray your air fryer basket with oil and dump in the flavoured tofu chunks. Air fry for 20 minutes at 400°F. Or you can bake these on a parchment lined baking sheet at the same temperature but bake longer so it can get just as crunchy and crispy. Or try a higher temperature like 425° so you can reduce the baking time. Either way, your tofu should come out crispy on the outside but still chewy and meaty on the inside, full of flavour! These crunchy five spice tofu bites make a delicious high-protein topping for nourish bowls, on noodle dishes, in wraps, and more. What will you do with your air fryer crunchy five spice tofu?
