Ingredients:

For the Teriyaki Tofu:

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cut into heart shapes or cubes
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)

For the Sautéed Green Beans:

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup or honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

2. Marinate the Tofu:

  • Place the tofu pieces in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

3. Air Fry the Tofu:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • If you prefer extra crispy tofu, lightly coat the marinated tofu pieces in cornstarch.
  • Place the tofu pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.

4. Sauté the Green Beans:

  • While the tofu is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans and soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:

  • Arrange the teriyaki tofu and sautéed green beans on a plate. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
