Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 oz firm tofu
  • 2 Tablespoon soy paste
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 1/4 Sichuan peppercorn powder or to taste
  • 2 Tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instruction

  • Place a kitchen towel on the counter and place the tofu on top. Put a heavy item, such as a small pot, on top of the tofu for one hour to squeeze out excess water.
  • Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes. Take a metal steamer rack and brush olive oil onto the surface of the rack and put it inside the fryer basket.
  • In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing all the seasoning ingredients and set aside.
  • Cut tofu into bite-size pieces and thread them on 2 skewers parallel to each other. Generously brush both sides of the tofu with a layer of the seasoning mixture and place the skewers on top of the steamer rack.
  • Air fry at 400F (200C) for about 10-12 minutes, brushing more sauce in the middle if necessary, until the surface of the tofu is slightly caramelized.
  • Sprinkle some sesame seeds and green onion to serve.
