just press the firm tofu into the panko, arrange it carefully in the air fryer and drizzle it with sesame oil and cook for 8 minutes at 400°. this is one of my favorite foods.

Dumb question:
Not sure I understand the point of drizzling the oil at the end. Would it not work to gently coat the tofu and then press into the bread crumbs? Wouldn’t drizzling at the end leave you with some spots that are oily and some that aren’t?
good question! I keep my air fryer very clean and these cook up nicer (imo) with a little oil in the air fryer. You don’t need a lot especially with sesame oil like a tablespoon maybe.
With battered (vs breaded) I use a pastry brush to spread the oil evenly but with these it seems like just splashing some in works fine. I drizzle it around so it doesn’t all end up on one and ruin the breading!
