Step 1
Wrap pressed tofu in a clean kitchen towel. Press against a cutting board with weight for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch and salt until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 3
Arrange tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with oil.
Step 4
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
Step 5
While tofu cooks, whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Step 6
Pour glaze over hot tofu and toss gently to coat. Let sit 1 minute so sauce can cling.
Step 7
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Drizzle with extra sauce from the bottom of the bowl.
