Instructions
Preparation Steps
Place tofu block between some paper towels and press to absorb extra water. Repeat until tofu feels dry and no more water comes out.
Slice tofu across in half lengthwise and then into cubes.
In a large bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of the Tamari, 2 teaspoons of the sriracha, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil, and the scallion whites. Add the tofu and let it sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
Air Fryer directions: Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Transfer the marinated tofu to the air fryer in a single layer and air fry at 370°F (188°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the tofu is slightly golden and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Oven directions: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, turning halfway, until the tofu is golden and crisp.
To Finish: While the tofu cooks, add the remaining 2 teaspoons sriracha, 2 teaspoons Tamari, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and Thai sweet chili sauce to the bowl.
When the tofu is ready, toss it with the prepared sauce to coat until evenly covered. Serve immediately over cooked brown rice with warmed shelled edamame, multi-color sesame seeds, and scallion greens.
