Method

1. Press the tofu with a weight for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 2cm cubes.
2. Toss the tofu cubes in a bowl with half of the soy sauce and the cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Place the tofu in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through until golden and crisp.
4. While the tofu cooks, peel the grapefruit, remove the white pith, and cut the segments into bite-sized pieces.
5. Wash and dry the lettuce, then tear it into a large serving bowl.
6. Whisk the remaining soy sauce with the maple syrup and a squeeze of grapefruit juice to create a light dressing.
7. Add the crispy tofu and grapefruit segments to the bowl, then drizzle with the dressing.
8. Top with coarsely chopped peanuts and serve immediately.

Tips

• The contrast between the hot, crispy tofu and the cold, juicy grapefruit makes this dish incredibly satisfying.
• If you don't have an air fryer, you can achieve a similar result by baking the tofu at 220°C for 20 minutes.
