🍢 Air-Fried Sticky Teriyaki Tofu Skewers 🇯🇵

An exceptional dinner recipe that completely solves the puzzle of cooking tofu by skipping the deep fryer. By cutting extra-firm tofu into thick cubes and pressing them into a light, seasoned cornstarch barrier, you give the high-velocity air the perfect foundation to work with. The convection currents instantly flash-fry the starch into a micro-crisp shell while locking the moisture inside. Brushed with a dark teriyaki reduction, the glaze caramelizes instantly under the heat.
