Try out this versatile air fry tofu cube recipe using Hodo’s Extra Firm Tofu or one of our newest blocks on the block: Indian Spiced Tofu and Miso Tofu.
If using Hodo’s Extra Firm Tofu, sprinkle some Japanese Togarashi on top for some color and a kick of flavor. We used Japanese Shichimi Togarashi which is a Japanese spice made up of seven spices of red chili flakes, sansho pepper, sesame seeds, nori, shiso, dried orange peel, hemp, and poppy seeds.

Ingredients
1 (10 oz) package Hodo Extra Firm Tofu Locate Product OR
1 (8 oz) package Hodo Miso Tofu Locate Product OR
1 (8 oz) package Hodo Indian Spiced Tofu Locate Product
2 tsp sesame oil
Salt & black pepper
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp shichimi togarashi*
*Add if using Hodo’s Extra Firm Tofu. Can substitute shichimi togarashi with chili powder or furikake seasoning which adds flavor but no spice.
Instructions
Slice Hodo Miso Tofu into 1/2” cubes.
On your cutting board, arrange tofu cubes with the cut sides up and brush or spray with oil to evenly coat.
Sprinkle tofu with salt, black pepper, and cornstarch.
Place tofu cubes in a single layer in an air fryer basket at 370°F and cook for 10-12 minutes. Make sure the cubes are not touching (you can fry the cubes in two batches if they don’t all fit in one go). Remove the basket and give it a good shake half way through, ensuring an even cook. Fry until tofu cubes are golden and crispy.
Take basket out of the air fryer and toss any remaining miso or garam masala marinade left from packaging onto the tofu cubes. If using Hodo’s Extra Firm Tofu, sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.
