Air Fried Tofu (w/ Spicy Sweet & Sour Mango Sauce)

This was an amazing discovery I recently made and I will never look at tofu the same again!  I used to think that the only way to make really crispy tofu with a soft centre was by deep frying it.  Well, get ready to change that belief and enter the wonderful world of air fried tofu à la Nelson Olive Oil!  I've done it with both firm and medium firm tofu and it's equally amazing.  The only difference is that you can't "toss" the softer tofu with the oil & spices because it will completely fall apart.  Instead, just brush the mixture onto the tofu cubes. The softer the tofu, the longer the cooking time, and believe me, you can cook the heck out of the softer stuff, that's the only way you'll get it to crisp up.  The cooking process here is very visual and you're going for for a "golden, puffed-up" look so keep checking near the end and use your judgement!  

These are just my go-to ingredients for Asian flavours but you can use any spices you want, or any of our flavoured oils will work beautifully.  I just don't recommend using fresh garlic and ginger as the bits can cook too fast and burn before the tofu is done.  White sticky rice goes great with this!
