Place the tofu cubes in a quart-size plastic storage bag. Add the tamari and seal the bag. Shake the bag until all the tofu is coated with the tamari.
Add the tablespoon of cornstarch to the bag. Shake again until the tofu is coated. Set the tofu aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile add all the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix with a spoon. Set aside.
Place the tofu in the air fryer in a single layer. You may need to do this in two batches.
Cook the tofu at 390℉ for 10 minutes, shaking it after 5 minutes.
After you're done cooking the batches of tofu, add it all to a skillet over medium-high heat. Give the sauce a stir and pour it over the tofu. Stir the tofu and sauce until the sauce has thickened and the tofu is heated through.
Serve immediately with rice and steamed vegetables, if desired.
