Ingredients
For the Tofu
- 1 block Extra-Firm Tofu (pressed and cubed)
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- Cooking Spray
For the Sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
For the Bowl
- 2 cups Cooked Brown Rice
- 1 cup Steamed Broccoli
- 1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
- 2 Green Onions (sliced)
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F. Spray the basket with cooking spray, arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer with space between each. Air fry for 14-16 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until all sides are golden and very crispy.
- While the tofu cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Toss the crispy tofu in the warm sauce until evenly coated.
- Build bowls with brown rice, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots. Top with the saucy crispy tofu, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and sliced green onions.
