- low-sodium soy sauce (such as Bragg®): 1 Tbsp
- olive oil: 1 Tbsp

Stages of cooking
-
Place tofu onto a plate lined with several paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and another plate. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top and press tofu for 30 minutes; drain and discard any accumulated liquid and cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
-
Combine soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl; mix well. Add tofu cubes and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
-
Place tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry for 5 minutes without shaking the fryer. Continue air frying, shaking occasionally, until browned, about 10 more minutes.
