Fantastic recipe @thefoodietakesflight will definitely make again! 😋

Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-Firm Tofu (pressed and drained)
• 2 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce (adds deep umami and color)
• 1 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce (balances saltiness)
• 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar (provides sweetness for glaze)
• 1 tsp Rice Vinegar (adds a subtle acidity)
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil (toasted flavor)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• ½ tsp Ginger (fresh, minced)
• 1 tsp Vegetable Oil (light coating for air‑fryer (optional))
• 2 cups Cooked White Rice (steamed or rice‑cooker cooked)
• 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (toasted)
• 2 Tbsp Green Onions (thinly sliced)
• ½ cup Frozen Peas (optional, adds sweetness and color)

Instructions

1. Shred the Tofu

   Pat the pressed tofu dry, then use a cheese grater to shred it into thin strips, resembling pulled pork.

   Time: PT5M

2. Air‑Fry the Tofu

   Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly toss the shredded tofu with 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional) and spread in a single layer in the basket. Air‑fry for 12‑15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 375°F

3. Make the Sauce

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger until the sugar dissolves.

   Time: PT5M

4. Reduce the Sauce

   Heat a small saucepan over medium heat, add the sauce mixture, and simmer for 4‑5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes glossy.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium

5. Combine Tofu and Sauce

   Add the crisped tofu to the reduced sauce, toss to coat evenly, and cook for another 1‑2 minutes so the tofu absorbs some glaze.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

6. Assemble the Bowl

   Place steamed rice in serving bowls, top with the glazed tofu, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and optional peas.

   Time: PT2M
