3Coat the tofu with cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and spray oil.
4Cook the tofu in the air fryer at 390°F for 15 minutes, making sure to flip it halfway (or cook until golden brown and crispy, depending on your air fryer).
5In a bowl, combine your gochugaru, water, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, sesame seeds, diced jalapeno, and diced green onions to make the dipping sauce.
6Dip your crispy tofu into the sauce and enjoy!
