Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Air Fryer
  • saute pan

Ingredients
  

Tofu and Bok Choy:

  • 8 oz tofu 1/2 block
  • 4 baby bok choy
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cooking spray

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Tofu: Cut the tofu into ½-inch strips lengthwise. Use a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Season and Coat: Toss the tofu strips with cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Air Fry: Lightly spray the tofu with cooking oil and place it in the air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  • Prepare the Bok Choy: Rinse and clean the bok choy, then slice each bunch in half lengthwise. Boil in water for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
  • Cook the Sauce: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.
  • Assemble the Dish: Arrange the bok choy on a platter, layer the crispy tofu on top, and drizzle generously with the sauce. Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions
