Cut the block of extra firm tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Add 1 tbsp of neutral flavored oil to the tofu cubes.

Sprinkle 2 tbsp of cornstarch and 1/2 tsp of salt over the tofu and toss to coat.

Transfer the coated tofu to an air fryer basket.

Air fry at 400°F for about 22 minutes, tossing halfway through for even crisping.

In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp of chinkyang vinegar, 1 tbsp of xiaoing cooking wine, 1/2 tbsp of dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp of coconut sugar, 2 tsp of cornstarch, 1 tsp of Sriracha, and 1 tsp of toasted sesame oil.

Stir until well mixed and set aside.

After the tofu is done, prepare to make the sauce by mincing 4 cloves of garlic and chopping green onions and bell peppers.

In a skillet, add the air-fried tofu and pour the sauce over it.

Add the minced garlic and chopped bell peppers, and stir to combine everything.

Cook for a few minutes until the bell peppers are tender and everything is heated through.
