Easy Air Fryer Vegan Tofu and Asparagus Scramble Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
• 2 tablespoons raw whole almonds
• 1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
• 0.5 pound fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and mirin. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce reduces by half, about 5 to 10 minutes. Let it cool to thicken.
2. Soak raw almonds in a small bowl of water for at least 10 minutes, then drain. Chop each almond into smaller pieces as desired.
3. Press the tofu block between paper towels to remove excess water. Firmly squeeze out the water, then set the tofu aside on a cutting board.
4. Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer on the air fryer crisping tray. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
5. Air fry at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through (after 5 minutes). Transfer the cooked asparagus to a large bowl.
6. In the same large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Cut the tofu into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes and add to the bowl. Gently mix to coat the tofu, keeping the cubes intact. Toss with nutritional yeast.
7. Place the seasoned tofu cubes on the air fryer crisping tray. Air fry at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through (after 5 minutes).
8. Combine the tofu cubes and asparagus pieces, gently breaking apart some of the tofu for a semi-scrambled texture. Drizzle with the sweet soy sauce and top with chopped almonds.
