Mix together the oils and the teaspoon of soy sauce, then toss well with the tofu.
Mix together the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then toss the tofu in the cornstarch mixture, coating well.
Air fryer directions
Arrange the tofu in your air fryer basket, spreading it out as much as possible. Air fry at 375° F for 10 minutes, then shake the basket well and air fry for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the tofu turns a beautiful, crispy, golden brown.
Serve topped with a little bit of soy sauce and a sprinkle of green onion.
Stovetop directions
Heat 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat, making sure that the pan is hot before adding the tofu. To check, wet your fingers under the tap, and flick a few drops of water into the oil. If it sizzles off immediately, the pan is ready. Add the tofu to the pan, making sure that the pieces don’t overlap.
Cook the tofu for 6 to 7 minutes, until you can see that the bottoms are golden brown. Use a spatula to flip, and cook for another 6 to 7 minutes, so it browns on the other side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels or a clean cloth napkin to drain for a few minutes, then serve immediately topped with a little bit of soy sauce and a sprinkle of green onion.

Notes
Nutritional information doesn't include the oil to pan fry, since the air fryer method doesn't use it.Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Reheat in the toaster oven or the air fryer. I don't recommend microwaving, because it will be mushy.
