Ingredients
Crispy Tofu
- 450 g Tofoo Naked extra firm tofu
- 1 packet of your favourite Asian marinade
- 2 tbsp corn flour

Instructions
- Slice the tofu into 1cm thick strips. Then place the sliced tofu in your favourite marinade for 15 minutes.
- Peel then slice the carrots into matchsticks. Combine the sugar, vinegar and salt in a bowl, and heat in the microwave until the sugar has dissolved. Add the carrots to a jar, then pour the warm pickling liquid over them. Slice the jalapeno into rounds, and add to the jar and leave to pickle
- Remove the firm tofu from the marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Sift the cornflour over the tofu and toss to combine.
- Place the tofu into the Instant Vortex Air Fryer basket, in a single layer, leaving some gaps between the pieces, to help them crisp evenly.
- Select Air Fry, and set the temperature to 205°C and the time for 11 mins. Cook until crispy.
- When ready to serve, split the baguettes, then spread the mayonnaise on both sides.
- Spread one side of your baguettes with pate, then add the pickled carrot and jalapeno, cucumber ribbons, your crispy tofu, and finish with fresh coriander. Shake over a few drops of soy sauce and serve immediately
