Start by preparing the tofu. Press extra-firm tofu to remove excess water and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of red curry paste (adjust according to your spice preference), 1 can of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and the juice of one lime. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Heat a pan on the stove and add the curry mixture. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Thai red chili paste for an extra kick. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken slightly.
While the sauce is simmering, toss the tofu cubes in a bit of cornstarch to coat them. Place the tofu in the preheated air fryer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy.
Once the tofu is done, add it to the simmering curry sauce. Stir gently to coat the tofu with the flavorful curry.
To enhance the spiciness, you can add additional chopped Thai bird chilies or red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve the extra spicy Thai curry over steamed jasmine rice or rice noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced red chilies for an extra burst of flavor.
