Cut or tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes to firm up the texture. Drain well. Mix all marinade/sauce ingredients in a bowl. Take 2 tbsp of the sauce and marinate the tofu. It soaks up the flavor in seconds. Toss the tofu in starch until evenly coated. Drizzle or spray lightly with oil. Airfry at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes until golden and crispy. Heat the remaining sauce in a pan. Stir until thick and glossy. Add the crispy tofu and toss to coat.
