Equipment

  • Tinfoil
  • Tongs
  • Tofu press (optional)
  • Knife & cutting board
  • Whisk

Ingredients

Tofu Bowl Ingredients

  • 1 pack Firm or extra firm tofu
  • 3-4 cups Shredded kale
  • 1 large Bell pepper (optional)
  • 1-2 Eggs

Tofu Marinade

  • 1/4 cup Toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 tsp Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
  • 2-3 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1-2 pinches Red chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Press the tofu in advance for around 1-3 hours using a tofu press, dish towel, or some paper towels. This step is not necessary, but it ensures the tofu will be crispy when it's done cooking.
  • Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together.
  • Cut the pressed tofu into even squares and place into a bowl. Pour marinade over the tofu and cover each piece of tofu in it evenly.
  • Line an air fryer basket with foil and cook at 375-380F° for 20-24 minutes, flipping each piece halfway.
  • While the tofu is cooking, place kale in a separate bowl, drizzle it with olive oil, and massage it for 1-2 mins.
  • Slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
  • Pan fry the egg(s) on a non-stick pan over medium heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the tofu is ready, it's time to start plating! Put the tofu on top of the kale, add bell peppers, and finish off with the fried egg.
