Buffalo Tofu Nuggets

Step 1

Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes. I suggest using a tofu press but you can alternatively stack tofu, a clean kitchen towel, a baking sheet, and top with something heavy like a cast iron skillet or stack of books.

Step 2

To make the marinade, whisk the soy sauce and water together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Tear the tofu into 1-inch pieces and place into the bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare two separate mixing bowls, one with the batter and the other with the breading. Working one piece at a time, take tofu and dip in the batter, gently shake to remove excess batter. Roll in the breading until fully coated. Place in the air fryer basket or lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Give the nuggets a light coating of oil spray. Make sure tofu nuggets are in a single layer and not touching each other. This will ensure they cook evenly, without sticking. Air fry at 400F for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Or bake in the oven at 425F for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Step 5

As the nuggets cook, prepare buffalo sauce and pour into a medium-sized mixing bowl. To minimize sogginess, ensure the tofu nuggets are well-cooked and crispy. Transfer to the mixing bowl with buffalo sauce and toss until fully coated. Serve immediately!
