Instructions
Press the Tofu
- To press tofu, wrap the block in paper towels. Place the tofu on a plate or cutting board and put a couple of heavy books or a cast iron pot on top of the tofu.
- Let sit, while pressing for about 20 minutes. Then unwrap and it is ready to use. You can skips these two steps if you have a super firm variety of tofu.
Tofu Bites
- Slice the tofu in half lengthways and then into small pieces, until you have around 32 pieces.
- In one small bowl, add the arrowroot flour.
- In another small bowl, add the almond milk.
- In a third bowl, add the Panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, smoked paprike, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Taking one piece of tofu at a time, roll in the arrowroot powder, then in the milk and then in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat well with each step. Repeat until all tofu is coated.
- Set the airfryer to 175˚C and add a layer of tofu.
- Air fry for 7 minutes.
- Turn the tofu over and cook for another 5 minutes or until desired crispiness is achieved.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you could bake in the oven at 200˚C for 18-20 minutes.
Sauce
- To make the sauce, mix the mayonnaise and the sriracha together until smooth.
- Serve immediately.
