My Daughter and I are trying to eat more healthy so I thought I would share some pictures on Saturday's of what we've made. Most pictures are from my daughter since she takes good food pics. lol
I am experimenting with things I've never tried before, like tofu!
Crispy Air-Fried Tofu
You will need:
A pack of Tofu- I used 1/3 of the square.
2 TBSP Hot Sauce
1 TBSP Sweet Chili Sauce
1 tsp. Corn Starch
1 tsp. Soy Sauce
I used Firm tofu and you have to press it to get the water out of it. I used a large water filled pan to sit on top of the tofu to squeeze the water out of it. I wrapped the tofu into a large dish cloth, placed it in a pan and put the pot of water on top of it for 30 minutes. A lot of water came out of it.
Then I cut about 1/3 of the square into cubes, tossed it into the sauces and then tossed it in the corn starch. Placed the cubes into my air fryer in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Air fried this for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
Not gonna lie, this was not my favorite new thing I've tried. It was still quite spongy in the middle.
But I cut a few pieces in half and added it to my mixed greens salad. And topped it with some cucumber ranch dressing. It was pretty good in the salad. Not sure I will be getting tofu again but it was fun to try something new.
This salad has 170 calories and 10 carbs.
