Air fryers aren't just for French fries, and this recipe showcases their versatility with a stir-fry-like dish that uses just a fraction of the typical amount of oil. Cleanup is a breeze since any splatters are kept in the fryer, and everything is cooked in about 30 minutes. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender and soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the warming chili sauce. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 14-ounce packages extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons chili-garlic paste or sambal (add amount to spice level preference)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 cloves garlic, smashed whole
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu, wrap each block in several layers of paper towel and set on a large plate. Place a heavy pan on top (cast-iron works great for this) to press excess liquid from the tofu; allow to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Slice each tofu block into six 1/2-inch-thick slices. Drain the large plate of any excess liquid, wipe dry and place the tofu slices back on the plate. Put 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the slices with the oil. Season both sides of the slices with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Lay the tofu slices flat in the basket of the air fryer and cook, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F again.
  • Toss the green beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook the beans, tossing halfway through, until tender and blistered, about 10 minutes.
  • While the beans cook, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, mirin, brown sugar, chili-garlic paste, cornstarch, garlic and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced, thickened and shiny, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer the beans to a large serving plate and shingle the tofu slices on top. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu and beans and garnish with the scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings.
  • Toss the green beans with oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up in the air fryer.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Leave some space between the beans so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the green beans in a single layer: This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that the beans cook evenly.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: You don't want them to be too soft or too crunchy.

Conclusion:

Air fryer green beans are a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and they can also be used as a snack or appetizer. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can have a delicious and nutritious side dish that the whole family will love.
