Tofu satay skewers on a bed of rice with broccolini

Iโ€™ve been hesitant to join the air fryer party as I love a minimalist kitchen bench, and I thought they were just small ovens. Well, Iโ€™m now ready to sign up to the air fryer fan club! Look at how crispy this tofu turned out in literally 8 minutes!

These little skewers are so delicious! They are great to enjoy on their own as a starter or with some rice and greens as a complete meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 400 g extra firm tofu

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp ginger minced
  • 1 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • ยฝ tbsp (0.5 tbsp) tamari
  • ยผ cup (59.15 ml) coconut milk
  • ยฝ cup (129 g) peanut butter
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Chop the tofu into bite-size squares and press to release some of the liquid.
  • Whisk together all the ingredients of the marinade in a container. Add the tofu to the container and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Drain the skewers.
  • Thread the marinated tofu onto the skewers and place them in the air fryer. Cook at 180C for 8 minutes until crispy.
  • While the tofu is cooking, blend or whisk all the sauce ingredients together. Cook the sauce in a pot on low heat for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Enjoy the tofu skewers on their own as a starter or with some rice and greens as a complete meal.
