I read a tip to try boiling your tofu before air frying it and i can't say i can tell any difference with this extra firm tofu but it's still delicious!

I boiled the tofu in squares for 12 minutes, air dried them 20 minutes, then tossed with sesame oil, msg, white pepper and corn starch before air frying at 365 for 12 minutes
right before the tofu finished i stir fried the vegetables together in hot oil while i mixed water, gochujang paste, rice vinegar, corn starch and salt together and when the tofu was done i dumped it and the sauce in with the veggies. after a minute the sauce was thick and bubbly.
topped with green onion and sesame seeds!
i usually don't boil the tofu and probably won't again.
I’m surprised you didn’t use any soy sauce.
yeah that's a good add instead of salt i just ran low on tamari and the gochujang is potent so it didn't miss it
