Directions
- 1Squeeze out excess liquid from the extra firm tofu. You can press it between two things, use a kitchen towel, or a tofu press.
- 2Tear the tofu into pieces rather than cutting it into cubes, as this method is said to make it crispier.
- 3Season the tofu with sesame oil, olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, and cornstarch.
- 4Cook the seasoned tofu in an air fryer at 390 degrees for 10 minutes, then shake and assess if more cooking time is needed.
- 5Prepare the spicy peanut sauce by combining natural peanut butter, soy sauce, Sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, rice vinegar, maple syrup (or brown sugar/other sweetener), ginger, and garlic.
- 6Add some warm water to the sauce ingredients to help them blend.
- 7Sauté the vegetables, including bell pepper, green onion, and broccoli, in a pan.
- 8Pour a little peanut sauce over the cooked tofu and toss.
- 9Assemble the bowls with brown rice as the base, then add the sautéed vegetables, crispy tofu, and additional green onion and Sriracha.
