I personally really enjoyed this - very citrusy which was right up my alley and reminded me so much of Panda Express which was the goal. My girlfriend was less keen however, so this will be one for me when she's away! 🤭

Overall good. Next time we will use 1/2 the sugar and use dark brown sugar. Probably reduce the soy sauce a bit. We omitted the additional salt, did not feel needed. I personally prefer to coat my tofu in potato starch and shallow fry, but the air fryer tofu was pretty good. Cook in batches as needed! We paired with spicy green beans and mushrooms.
