Check out this Crispy Tofu with Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe using a Philips Air Fryer
Step 1 - Press your block of tofu while you're mixing the marinade together. When "pressing" tofu you simply need to put paper towel or a kitchen towel on both sides of the tofu and the apply weight so that any excess liquid is squeezed from the block of tofu. A tub of coconut oil does the trick.
TOFU MARINADE
- 4 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chili flake
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Once the tofu has been sufficiently pressed (15 - 20 min) cut it into rectangles. Pour the marinade over the tofu - Marinade for minimum 1 hour, maximum 24 hours.
Step 2 - Chop up your cauliflower. I cut mine into small florets so that we could get the most surface area without them falling through the screen of the air fryer. Now it's time to get a little creative & clean out your fridge. The BEAUTY of rice dishes is that you can use pretty much ANY vegetable and it will taste great. I had some carrots (keep the tops, use them for garnish at the end & feel like an eco-warrior), yellow peppers, green peas, thai chilies, and green onions. Chop them how you see fit.
Step 3 - Set the air fryer to 400' and cook the cauliflower florets for 15 minutes, giving them a shake at the half way mark. While this is cooking make the miso dressing.
PEANUT MISO SAUCE
- 2 tbsp red miso paste
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp ginger juice (or 1 tbsp powdered ginger)
- 1/4 c olive oil
- 1/2 c water
- 1 tbsp chili flake
Step 4 - Keep the air fryer at 400' - Add the tofu to the basket and cook for 10 minutes. When there is 6 minutes left, add the veggies to the same basket. While the veggies and tofu are cooking, use a knife to chop the fried cauliflower into little 'rice' pieces. Once the timer is up take the veggies and mix them in with the cauliflower.. It's time to plate!
