STEP 1. Prepare the Tofu

• Dice the firm tofu into 1.5–2 inch cubes for even cooking.

STEP 2. Choose Your Cooking Method

Air-Frying:

• Lightly coat all sides of the tofu cubes with oil.

• Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

• Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning the tofu halfway through.

Pan-Frying:

• Heat a pan until very hot, then coat with oil to season it (this prevents sticking).

• Add the tofu cubes and pan-fry on all four sides until golden and crispy.

  • Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even crisping.

STEP 3. Add Aromatics and Sauce

• Once the tofu is golden and crispy, reduce the heat to low.

• Add the minced garlic, chopped Thai chilis, scallions, and cilantro.

• Stir briefly until aromatic (about 30 seconds).

STEP 4. Toss with Superlova! Sauce

• In a separate bowl, add 2 tablespoons (or more) of Superlova! Dan Dan Sauce for a spicy dish or Superlova! May May Sauce for a non-spicy dish.

• Add the fried tofu to the bowl and toss everything together until the tofu and aromatics are evenly coated.

STEP 5. Serve and Enjoy

• Plate the crispy tofu while hot and garnish with additional scallions or cilantro if desired.

• Serve as a standalone dish, a topping for rice or noodles, or alongside your favorite veggies.
