Press the excess water from the block of tofu by using a tofu press or a some heavy pots or pans. This usually takes 20-30 minutes or so, depending on how aggressive you are with adding weight/tightening the press. 1 14 oz extra firm tofu
Slice into thin strips (1/4 inch strips are what we aim for).
Add the sauce you'd like to marinate the tofu in along with the sliced tofu into a large bowl. ½ cup homemade teriyaki sauce
Allow the tofu to marinate for 10-20 minutes, or as long as you have until you need to begin cooking. The longer you allow it to marinate, the more flavorful tofu you'll have.
Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with some olive oil cooking spray. Add the tofu pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the fryer.
Set air fryer to 375º and cook for 10-20 minutes of cook time, checking on them every 5 minutes.
Flip your tofu pieces over after 10 minutes of cooking time. The bottom always browns a little faster, so flipping helps to get them evenly cooked.
Pull out the tofu pieces when they're golden brown and drizzle extra sauce on them if needed. Top with sesame seeds, if you'd like. 2 tbsp sesame seeds
