So excited to share an updated version of my sesame soy tofu recipe! This time I show you how to air fry it (With an oven method as well).
This sesame soy tofu is the first tofu recipe I have experimented with and published on my site. Whenever someone asks me for the most basic but delicious tofu recipe, I will direct them to this one.
Since I made this recipe almost 3 years ago, I have adjusted it along the way. Swapping out ingredients, minimizing the amount of ingredients…I just wanted to make this recipe the simplest it could be while also having a lot of flavor.
I also wanted to make it in the air fryer as everyone and their mother has an air fryer now, and I have to say I definitely prefer this method! I will also provide an oven method.
I have had an air fryer for a few months and I have been loving it! I have made countless of items in it and I now cannot live without it. Mine is made by Black & Decker.
I use my air fryer for vegan meats, tofu, vegetables, etc. I love throwing things to to minimize cooking time and keeps the oil low.
I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you make any of my recipes don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @plantbasedjane.
