Ingredients

  • 14 oz extra firm tofu (drained)
  • 1 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons gluten-free Tamari ((or soy sauce) divided)
  • 1/2 cup warmed shelled edamame
  • 4 teaspoons Sriracha (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon multi color sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 medium scallion (chopped, white and green parts separated)
  • 2 teaspoons Thai sweet chili sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place tofu block between some paper towels and press to absorb extra water.
  2. Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
  3. Bake in a preheat oven 400F about 25 minutes, turning halfway.
  4. While it cooks, add the remaining 2 teaspoons sriracha, 2 teaspoons Tamari, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and sweet chili sauce to the bowl.
  5. Repeat until tofu feels dry and no more water comes out.  Slice across in half lengthwise and then into cubes.
  6. Transfer the tofu to the air fryer in a single layer and air fry 370F about 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway until slightly golden and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
  7. When the tofu is ready, toss it with the sauce to coat until evenly covered. Serve immediately over rice with edamame, sesame seeds and scallion greens.
  8. In a large bowl stir together 1 tablespoon of the tamari, 2 teaspoons of the sriracha, 2 teaspoons of the sesame and the scallion whites, add the tofu and let sit 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Swap the tofu with chicken or shrimp.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the tofu in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • Sub coconut aminos or soy sauce for tamari.
  • Use plain white sesame seeds or omit them if you can’t find multi-colored.
  • Here, I served these crispy tofu bowls with brown rice and edamame for more protein, but cauliflower rice or stir-fried veggies would also be great.
