Instructions
- Press the tofu in paper towels under a weight to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Kashmiri chili powder, salt, black pepper, ginger paste, garlic paste, vinegar, water and cornstarch. Coat the tofu well and marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with oil, arrange the tofu in a single layer without crowding, and spray lightly with oil.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, then set the tofu aside.
- Heat oil in a medium pan. Add the white scallions, ginger, garlic and green chili and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until the garlic is light golden and fragrant.
- Add the red onion and red and green peppers and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Mix the dark soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar and water in a small bowl, pour into the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Lower the heat.
- Just before serving, toss the tofu into the pan and heat through without overcooking the vegetables. Garnish with green scallions and serve hot.
