Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Place tofu block between some paper towels and press to absorb extra water.
  2. Repeat until tofu feels dry and no more water comes out. Slice across in half lengthwise and then into cubes.
  3. 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.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake in a preheat oven 400F about 25 minutes, turning halfway.
  7. While it cooks, add the remaining 2 teaspoons sriracha, 2 teaspoons Tamari, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and sweet chili sauce to the bowl.
  8. 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.

Notes

  • Swap: the tofu with chicken or shrimp.
  • Baking Alternative: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the tofu in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • Substitutions: Sub coconut aminos or soy sauce for tamari.
  • Sesame Seeds: Use plain white sesame seeds or omit them if you can’t find multi-colored.
  • Serving Suggestions: 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.
