- 7 ounces extra firm tofu (drained and cut into 4 slices, 1.5 cm thick)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup white and black sesame seeds
- 1 egg
- olive oil spray
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- Cilantro Lime Rice or Cauliflower Rice
- 1 cup sugar snap peas (steamed and chopped)
- 1/3 cup frozen edamame (steamed)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- tamari (for drizzling)
Place the tofu slices on a kitchen towel or paper towel and press gently to remove excess water. Then transfer to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Pour half of the marinade over the tofu, gently turn, and pour the rest on the other side. Marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C or the oven to 220°C.
Place the sesame seeds on a plate. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Remove the tofu slices from the marinade, dip in the egg, then coat with sesame seeds. Spray with olive oil.
Cook the tofu in the air fryer or oven until golden and crispy. It takes about 10 minutes in the air fryer, and 20-25 minutes in the oven.
To make the sriracha mayonnaise, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce.
Serve the tofu steaks with rice, fresh peas, edamame, green onion, sriracha mayonnaise, and tamari.
