Instructions

Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and optional sriracha.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch chunks and toss them in the marinade until well coated.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated tofu and drizzle with neutral oil; mix until evenly coated.
Arrange the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 450°F for about 10 minutes, shaking halfway through until crispy.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
