Step 1

Drain the tofu from water and pat-dry or press. See notes for tips on choosing extra firm tofu.

Step 2

Thinly slice the tofu using a peeler. Smaller broken pieces are perfectly fine!

Step 3

Place the strips of tofu on your air-fryer basket. I lined mine with parchment paper.

Step 4

Spray or brush some oil on the tofu. Air fry for 6 mins at 350F or until lightly brown and crisp on the edges.

Step 5

Don’t air fry for too long since this will yield very crispy tofu that can harden when it cools. I like keeping my tofu lightly grown with white parts so they still have that nice chew and absorb sauces better when stir-frying.

Step 6

You may also need to cook the tofu in batches depending on the size of your air-fryer.

Step 7

If you don't have an air-fryer, you can opt to quickly pan-fry the tofu on a non-stick pan with some oil until lightly crisp on both sides.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing everything together. Feel free to adjust to your desired taste. Set aside

Step 9

Heat a pan or wok with some oil. Once hot, add half of the minced garlic. Allow too cook until golden brown and crispy. Drain from the oil. Set aside.

Step 10

In the same pan or wok, cook the remaining garlic and white parts of the green onion. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes over medium high heat.

Step 11

Add in the bell peppers or any vegetables of your choice. Cook until tender.

Step 12

Add in the thin tofu strips. Pour over the sauce. Mix well and leave the sauce to come to a boil over medium heat.

Step 13

The sauce will start to thicken from the sugars. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat or until the sauce is reduced.

Step 14

Taste the tofu and feel free to season with more soy sauce or sweetener, if needed.

Step 15

Turn off the heat. Add some sesame oil to finish. Mix well.

Step 16

Serve over rice. Garnish the tofu with the crispy garlic, green onions, and sesame seeds. Enjoy while hot!
