• Prepare the tofu by pressing it gently in a clean dish cloth to remove excess moisture, without crushing it. A tofu press works best here. Or, you can place the tofu on a plate lined with paper towels and place a plate or small cutting board on top, then weigh it down with a can for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  14 ounces extra firm tofu
• Mix marinade ingredients in bowl, then brush half of marinade over pieces of tofu. You can also marinate the tofu slices up to 2 hours in the refrigerator, if you have the time.
  4 teaspoons ginger garlic paste, ½ teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice
• Cut tofu into cubes and place in a wide, flat container. Pour marinade over top and make sure all the pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 5 minutes, (or up to overnight).

Air Fryer Instructions:

• Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper, if it's not non-stick. Arrange pieces of tofu in air fryer basket in a single layer. (Do multiple batches, if they don't all fit.)
• Air fry at 400°F degrees for 12 minutes, stopping halfway through to brush them with the remaining marinade.
• When they're done cooking, transfer them back to the container with the remaining marinade and toss to coat.

Oven Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (convection/fan oven: 400°F).
• Then, arrange pieces of tofu on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, stopping halfway through to brush with marinade.
• When they're done cooking, transfer them back to the container with the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
