Ingredients

1 packet high protein tofu or extra firm
4 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoon miso paste
3 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 – 1/2 cup water

Instructions

Dice tofu into 1 inch cubes. Marinade for 30 minutes in 2 tbsp soy sauce/tamari and 1 tbsp maple syrup.
After 30 minutes, add nutritional yeast and 2 tbsp of corn starch to coat the tofu. Use a small spatula to toss it and assure it is evenly coated.
Air fry at 375 F for 18-20 minutes (or until desired crispiness). You can also bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. Make sure to flip or toss half-way through cooking.
Set a pan on medium heat and add sesame seed oil. Once hot, add garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
Next, add the rest of the soy sauce (2 tbsp), maple syrup (2 tbsp), miso paste, and 1/4 cup water. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 tbsp cornstarch to the simmering sauce to help thicken. Stir consistently for 1 minute until fully dissolved and sauce begins to thicken.
Check the consistency of the sauce and add more water if desired. Sauce should be thick and viscous but still a bit runny.
At this point tofu should be done cooking. If tofu has met your desired level of crispiness, add it to the pan and toss into the sauce.
Serve over rice and vegetables, enjoy!
