Add to a mixing bowl along with the soy sauce, onion powder and black pepper and gently mix.
1 ½ tbsp soy sauce, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp ground black pepper
Put to one side for 5 – 10 minutes to let the tofu absorb the flavour.
Remove the tofu from the bowl and discard the liquid.
Add 4 tbsp of corn starch to a shallow dish add some of the tofu. Gently toss to coat the tofu.
6 tbsp corn starch
Remove the covered tofu and repeat the process with the rest. You will probably need to add more corn starch as you go. Sometimes, I use 4 tablespoons other times up to 6. You can use a freezer bag instead of the shallow dish if you prefer.
Pan Fried
Place a large frying pan over a medium high heat and add the oil.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
When hot add the tofu and fry until a lovely golden brown on all sides.
Remove to a paper covered plate to drain any excess oil and serve.
Air Fryer
Turn on the air fryer to 200C/400F and place the coated tofu cubes into the basket.
Place in the air fryer once hot and cook for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Oven Baked
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 and line a baking tray with greaseproof/parchment paper.
Place the coated tofu on the lined baking tray in a single layer and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove and turn the tofu over and place back in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
