Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Boil tofu: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add tofu chunks and simmer for 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove tofu to a colander or fine mesh sieve to drain and cool.
Blanch green beans: Bring the pot of water back to a boil, then add green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and rinse green beans under cold water to stop them from cooking. Set aside in a colander.
Air fry tofu: Toss tofu with cornstarch and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil over and gently toss to coat. Spread tofu out on an air fryer basket and air fry at 390u00b0F for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
Simmer sauce: When tofu is just about ready, add all sauce ingredients to a deep pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens a little, then turn off heat.
Coat tofu and green beans: Add tofu and green beans to sauce and toss until well coated.
Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over, then drizzle with sesame oil to taste.
