Crispy Buffalo Tofu with Caesar Salad

• package of tofu (firm or extra firm)↗16 ounce
• cornstarch↗2 tablespoon
• soy sauce↗1 tablespoon
• avocado oil↗1 tablespoon
• paprika↗1 teaspoon
• garlic powder↗0.5 teaspoon
• butter↗3 tablespoon
• hot sauce (like Frank's red hot)↗0.25 cup
• Salad with Caesar, ranch, or bleu cheese dressing (I especially love to throw this tofu on top of an avocado kale Caesar salad!)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Take the tofu out of the packaging and drain the water. Wrap it with a clean dish towel, or a few paper towels, and gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture. I spend less than a minute on this.

2. 2

   Pull the tofu into bite-sized chunks. Toss with the cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, paprika, and garlic powder.

3. 3

   When everything is well-coated, air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Shake or toss, then air fry for another 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. (See notes for baking instructions.)

4. 4

   Melt the butter and whisk with the hot sauce. Toss the crispy tofu in the sauce to coat.

5. 5

   Dip in your favorite sauce or throw in a wrap, bowl, or salad! So yum!
