I'm still trying to master tofu. I can't get it at all like my favorite Thai place does it.

This might not be your Thai place but a lot of restaurant stir fries actually deep-fry the tofu before stir frying it with the other ingredients. You get a better crisp that way even if you're not coating it

I've tried air frying and it gets a bit of the texture on the outside but it's still softer than my liking in the inside. I don't have access to a deep fryer so I can't try to that way.

Ah frying won't really change the inside, try slicing it thinner if you want more crunch overall or buying firmer tofu (which is also easier to cook). I deep fry in a big pot of oil on the stovetop.
