Stir Fried Tofu and Vegetables Vegan, Gluten-Free Recipe

I often make stir-fries, they like salads; super easy and quick to make without putting much effort into the dish and still can enjoy a delicious meal. You can put pretty much everything in it and make it delicious and healthy.

I have put in my Stir-Fried tofu recipe the vegetables that I had on hand: Bok choy and bell peppers. You can substitute whatever vegetables are available: celery, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, string beans, mushrooms, and carrots, the possibilities are endless.

Before we start with the recipe you might want to find out how to make tofu firm. You can make it firm by applying a few tricks.

1. Pressing

Cover tofu with a clean tea towel, then place it on a large plate or a tray with a lip. Put something heavy like a pan on top, cover it with cans or a cookbook and leave it for at least 1 hour. The tofu will be about two-thirds of its original thickness and will release around one-third of its weight.

2. Baking

Cut the tofu into cubes and put it into Air Frier and bake it for 40 minutes at 200C. A high temperature gives the tofu a firmer texture and creates a more visible porous as you see in a sponge. Porous will easily absorb the flavorful sauces when added to a dish.
