just press the firm tofu into the panko, arrange it carefully in the air fryer and drizzle it with sesame oil and cook for 8 minutes at 400°. this is one of my favorite foods.

    I’ve hated tofu every one of the few times I’ve tried to prepare it. Undoubtedly because I’m doing something wrong. And it’s just OK when I have it at a restaurant. But this looks and sounds pretty good and straightforward. I’ll give it a shot!

      I hate it when absolutely nothing is done to it. Like just plopping a square of it fresh out of a store bought package in some soup, like how I was introduced to it.

      But when actually prepared in some way, even iust as simple as dredging it in flour and egg and then deep frying it, it’s really good.

        So for an idiot who likes tofu when going to a Mongolian bbq because they are sauce sponges but never cooked with it, is the pressing it for getting the water out?

        And is there a problem with going over the 30 minutes, like does it cause issues overpressing? I ask because the 30 minute wait time is something that’ll drive me up the wall when I decide to cook, but could set this up before I go get a shower when getting home from work.
