📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Press tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, toss tofu with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl, toss broccoli and carrots with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
  4. 4
    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  5. 5
    Arrange tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. 6
    Remove tofu and set aside. Add seasoned broccoli and carrots to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  7. 7
    While tofu and veggies cook, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  8. 8
    Combine cooked rice, air-fried tofu, and air-fried vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the glaze over everything and toss gently to coat.
  9. 9
    Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

💡 Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure tofu is thoroughly pressed and not overcrowded in the air fryer. Feel free to swap in other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas. This meal preps well for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
