Method

1. Rinse the rice, cover with water in a 1:2 ratio, season with salt, and cook for 15–17 minutes until tender. Let stand covered for 5 minutes.

2. Pat the tofu¹ dry and cut into 2 cm cubes.

3. Mix the soy sauce, grated garlic⁵, and sesame oil. Toss the tofu¹ with the marinade.

4. Sprinkle the tofu¹ with starch and toss gently to coat the cubes in a thin layer.

5. Arrange the tofu¹ in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

6. Cook at 200 °C for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. The tofu¹ is ready when the edges are dry and crispy.

7. Spoon the rice onto a plate, then top with the tofu¹, sesame seeds, and green⁸ onion.
