4 servings
Servings4
1 block of tofu (extra firm)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
1.5 cups mushrooms (sliced)
1 bell pepper (diced)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce or all-purpose soy
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (or any cooking wine)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
1

Remove excess water from the tofu.

2

Slice the tofu into large cubes.

3

Prepare the marinade by combining water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and pepper in a large bowl.

4

Place the sliced tofu into the marinating bowl. Mix it gently and baste the tofu for maximum flavor absorption. Marinate the tofu for 30 minutes.

5

Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) for 5 minutes.

6

While marinating and preheating your air fryer, wash and cut the veggies. Halve your cherry tomatoes, slice your mushrooms, and dice your bell peppers.

7

Place the vegetables in another large bowl. Drizzle vegetable oil over the veggies and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Toss the veggies to make sure all contents are coated with the seasoning.

8

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil, then place the sliced tofu. Make sure there’s enough space between them. Air fry for 8 - 10 minutes at 400ºF (204ºC). Then set them aside.

9

Place the veggies in your air fryer and cook them at 380ºF (193ºC) for 5 - 8 minutes. Don’t forget to shake halfway.

10

Reduce the marinade into a sauce. Add 1 - 2 tbsp cornstarch water to the marinade. Once boiling, lower the heat to simmer for 7 - 10 minutes. Then remove the pot from the heat.

11

After cooking the vegetables, combine the air-fried tofu, veggies, and the sauce (reduced marinade) in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste then toss to make sure everything is coated.

12

Serve the Air Fryer Tofu and Veggies, and enjoy your hearty brunch!
