Ingredients
Directions
Cook the tofu: Preheat (if needed) your air fryer at 375 F. Add the cubed tofu to your air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally.
Meanwhile, make your tomato sauce: Heat a large stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Add the garlic and tomatoes, cooking and stirring for another minute.
Stir in the fish sauce, tomato paste, and date paste or maple syrup, and cook for another minute. Remove from heat while the tofu continues to cook or, if the tofu is ready, add it to the mixture. Simmer the tomato mixture with the tofu for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Divide Air Fried Tofu between plates and top with green onion and optional cilantro. Serve with rice and vegetables, if desired.
