🍲 Air-Fried Crispy Thai-Style Tofu Satay Cubes 🥜

A spectacular, high-impact dinner centerpiece that delivers a dramatic texture contrast. By pressing dense extra-firm tofu blocks to remove internal moisture and tossing them in an aromatic coconut-curry marinade with a touch of cornstarch, we create a specialized outer boundary. Blasted under maximum convection heat, the sugars and fats in the coconut milk rapidly caramelize, locking in a juicy, tender protein core behind a beautifully blistered, golden-brown crust.
