AIR FRYER TOFU

Steps:

• Cut the tofu into cubes.
• Make the tofu marinade. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir well.
• Add the tofu cubes and stir well.
• If you've got enough time, let the tofu marinade for about 10-20 minutes for a deeper flavor. If you're short on time, just let it marinade for a minute and then move on to the next step.
• Set your air fryer to 350 °F and air fry the tofu for 12-15 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.
• Serve the air fryed tofu immediately with vegan mayonnaise or aioli or with a salad.

AIR-FRIED VEGAN TOFU BOWL

Steps:

• Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Cut the tofu into cubes by cutting it lengthwise and then cutting the thin tofu blocks into eight pieces. Roll them in 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, edamame, 1/4 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, and a drop of soy sauce; cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
• While the veggies are steaming, add remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili oil to a pan and combine. Stir in remaining cornstarch to thicken, adding a bit of water if it's too thick. Bring to a simmer. Transfer the tofu to a bowl and coat it in the warm sauce. Sprinkle with remaining everything bagel seasoning.
• Add the cooked rice to a bowl, top with the veggies and tofu, avocado, and sprinkle with furikake and pepper flakes. Enjoy while warm.
