Equipment

  • 1 cooking pan
  • 1 air fryer optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 7 oz firm tofu, cubed 200 g
  • 3.5 oz rice noodles 100 g
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, for serving
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut, for serving (or kimchi) recipe here
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Place the cubed tofu in a bowl and toss it with 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp maple syrup until evenly coated. Transfer the tofu to the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the tofu is golden and crispy.
    If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the tofu in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or pan-fry it until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced red onion, julienned carrot, thinly sliced yellow bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
    You can extend the cooking time based on your preference for the desired tenderness of the vegetables.
  • Add the cooked rice noodles and air-fried tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  • Divide the stir-fry between two bowls. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with a side of sauerkraut and sesame seeds.
  • Enjoy!
