Air-fried tofu balls offer a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks. To prepare them, start by pressing firm tofu to remove excess moisture, ensuring a firmer texture that holds up well during cooking. Crumble the tofu into a bowl, then mix in breadcrumbs, finely chopped spring onions, garlic, ginger, and a splash of soy sauce for added flavour.

Once combined, shape the mixture into small balls and lightly coat them in a mixture of sesame seeds and cornstarch. The air fryer, with its ability to circulate hot air, allows these little morsels to become golden and crispy without the need for excessive oil. Serve them warm with a side of sweet chilli sauce or soy dipping sauce, and enjoy a satisfying snack or appetiser that’s both nutritious and full of flavour. Perfect for vegans and those looking to incorporate more plant-based options into their diet!
