My new favorite way to make Buffalo Tofu

Instructions

1. Press the tofu for about 15 minutes, then tear it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Put the tofu in a bowl, drizzle with oil, season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and nutritional yeast, and toss to coat. Sprinkle on 2 tablespoons of starch and toss again.
3. Spread the tofu in one layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes or so. Cook it a little longer than seems necessary so it stays crisp when sauced.
4. In a saucepan, whisk together the hot sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium-low.
5. When the sauce starts to bubble, lower the heat and whisk in the cold butter a piece at a time, stirring constantly until emulsified.
6. Remove all but about 1/2 cup of the sauce to a jar for later. Add the crispy tofu to the remaining sauce and toss to coat.
7. Serve right away with vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing, carrots and celery.
