Equipment

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

For Serving:

  • 1 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup warmed shelled edamame
  • 1/2 teaspoon multi color sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Place tofu block between some paper towels and press to absorb extra water.
  • Repeat until tofu feels dry and no more water comes out.  Slice across in half lengthwise and then into cubes.
  • 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.

Air Fryer directions:

  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
  • 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.

Oven directions:

  • Bake in a preheat oven 400F about 25 minutes, turning halfway.

To Finish (air fryer or oven):

  • While it cooks, add the remaining 2 teaspoons sriracha, 2 teaspoons Tamari, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and sweet chili sauce to the bowl.
  • 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

Variations:

  • 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.
