Step 1
Drain tofu and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Press gently for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Step 4
Arrange tofu cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Step 5
Pour the glaze over tofu. Air fry for 3 more minutes until the coating glistens and edges darken slightly.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Serve immediately over rice or with vegetables.
