Step 1
Press tofu between paper towels with a heavy plate for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch and salt in a bowl until evenly coated.
Step 3
Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, garlic, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Brush tofu cubes lightly with olive oil on all sides. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Step 5
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Edges should be golden and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer cooked tofu to a bowl. Drizzle with sesame oil, then pour the ginger-soy glaze over and toss gently.
Step 7
Top with sliced scallions and serve immediately over rice or with steamed vegetables.
