Air Fried Tofu Coated With Quinoa Flakes Recipes

CRISPY AIR FRIED TOFU

Steps:

• Press: Press tofu for at least 15 minutes, using either a tofu press or by setting a heavy pan on top of it and letting the moisture drain. When finished, cut tofu into bite-sized blocks and transfer to a bowl.
• Flavor: Combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over tofu and toss to coat. Let tofu marinate for an additional 15 minutes.
• AirFry: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 C). Add tofu blocks to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.

AIR-FRIED TOFU COATED WITH QUINOA FLAKES

Steps:

• Squeeze the liquid from the block of tofu by wrapping it in a clean towel and pressing it with a weight.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow bowls, not too wide, and one flat plate. Put the cornstarch in one, and unsweetened soy milk in another. In the last one, add the quinoa flakes, nutritional yeast, oregano, sage, rosemary, and pepper. Mix with a fork. Leave the plate for the finished tofu.
• Slice the slab of tofu into pieces that are approximately 1/2-inch thick and approximately 2 inches in length and width. They should be able to be handled easily without breaking.
• Dredge each slice in cornstarch first. Dip each piece in the soy milk. Coat the slices with the quinoa flake mixture, tapping to shake off the excess. Place each coated tofu piece on the empty plate. Add as many pieces that will fit without touching into the air fryer basket.
• Cook until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. There is no need to flip the pieces and do not shake the basket. The coating is light and will come off easily if not cooked through. When the tofu pieces are browned and crispy, remove them and continue cooking the remaining pieces. Serve warm.

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.
