How To Cook Tofu Three Ways

In a new video, twin brothers David and Stephen Flynn of The Happy Pear demonstrate how to cook tofu three different ways to achieve maximum flavor, texture, and versatility. They show how size and shape can completely transform the use of this protein-packed ingredient, focusing on maximizing surface area, crispiness, and presentation. The brothers recommend using an air fryer for easier cooking and better texture.

The first method involves cutting tofu into steaks for a crispy outside and soft inside, perfect for presentation. The second method involves tearing tofu into uneven chunks for a light, airy texture full of crisp edges, similar to popcorn. The third method involves cubing tofu into small pieces for maximum surface area and caramelization, ideal for salad toppers or as a glaze. The brothers stress the importance of choosing the right cut based on how you plan to use the tofu and utilizing an air fryer for the best results.
