Remove tofu block from the package and discard liquid. Wrap tofu in cheesecloth, place on a plate, and cover with a heavy pot until remaining liquid has been squeezed out, about 10 minutes. Remove the cheesecloth and cut tofu into 20 1-inch, bite-sized pieces. Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze, 8 hours or overnight.

Remove tofu from freezer and thaw on paper towels or a dry cheesecloth. Pat dry.
3. Stage
While tofu is thawing, put cornstarch into a resealable plastic bag. Pour rice milk into a small bowl.
4. Stage
Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
