Slice the tofu lengthwise into three sections, focusing on the middle part that contains the most moisture.
Use paper towels to press the tofu and remove excess water, flipping the pieces and repeating the process.
Cut the dried tofu into smaller chunks.
In a bowl, pour a layer of olive oil.
Add equal amounts of soy sauce to the bowl.
Include a splash of sesame oil and some seasonings, like garlic salt, into the mixture.
Stir the mixture and then add the tofu pieces, shaking to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle cornstarch into the mixture, adjusting the quantity based on how crunchy you want the nuggets to be, and mix thoroughly.
Transfer the coated tofu to an air fryer, spreading it out evenly.
Cook in the air fryer on max crisp for 10 minutes, or alternatively, bake in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through and adding an extra 5 minutes of cooking time.
