Vegan Tofu Asparagus Scramble in Air Fryer

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Tofu Asparagus Scramble in Air Fryer.

1. Step 1

   In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, and mirin. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.

2. Step 2

   While the sauce cools, soak the raw almonds in water for at least 10 minutes, then drain. Cut each almond into thirds or smaller pieces if desired.

3. Step 3

   Press the tofu block between paper towels to remove excess water. Firmly squeeze the tofu and set it aside on a cutting board.

4. Step 4

   Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on the air fryer crisping tray. Lightly spritz with olive oil cooking spray.

5. Step 5

   Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the asparagus for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking. Once done, transfer the asparagus to a large bowl.

6. Step 6

   In a separate large bowl, mix together olive oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. Cut the tofu into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes and add them to the bowl, gently mixing to coat the tofu without breaking it. Toss the tofu with nutritional yeast.

7. Step 7

   Place the seasoned tofu cubes on the air fryer crisping tray and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

8. Step 8

   Combine the cooked tofu and asparagus in a bowl, gently pressing some tofu cubes to create a semi-scrambled texture. Drizzle the sweet soy sauce over the mixture and sprinkle with chopped almonds before serving.
