Storage Tip

Store any leftover tofu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Variation

Switch up the veggies with your favorites like broccoli or snap peas.

Notes

Press the tofu: Remove excess moisture by wrapping the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15 minutes.

Marinate the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add tofu cubes and gently toss until coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Coat the tofu: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated tofu cubes and toss to ensure an even coating.

Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 minutes. Skip this step if you're short on time.

Air fry the tofu: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange tofu cubes in a single layer without crowding. Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger paste. Set aside.

Assemble the bowl: Divide cooked brown rice equally between two bowls. Top with crispy tofu, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and green onions.

Drizzle with sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over each bowl and garnish with sesame seeds.
