Make the air fryer tofu

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.

In a large bowl, toss the cubed tofu with olive oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.

Arrange tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 13–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges. Set aside.

Make the peanut sauce

In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

Slowly whisk in warm water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

Cook the noodles + vegetables

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the peanut sauce.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the veggies (and 1 tablespoon oil if needed).

Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring often, until heated through and slightly tender but still crisp.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the veggies and toss to combine.

Serve with the crispy air fryer tofu topped with green onions, sesame seeds, and chili crisp if desired.

Notes

For 4 people, I like to use 2 blocks of tofu for a higher protein meal. That being said, 1 block of tofu also works well for 4 people!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Press Your Tofu Thoroughly 🧊
Wrap super-firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press with a heavy object for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness in the air fryer and better sauce absorption.
Bloom Your Aromatics in Oil 🧄
Toast minced ginger and garlic in warm sesame oil for 30 seconds before adding to your peanut sauce to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that elevate the entire dish.
Balance Your Peanut Sauce 🥜
Taste your sauce before adding to noodles and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce for salt, rice vinegar for tang, or maple syrup for sweetness—a balanced sauce is the foundation of this dish.
Cube Tofu Evenly for Consistency ✂️
Cut your pressed tofu into uniform 3/4-inch cubes so they cook at the same rate in the air fryer, guaranteeing every piece reaches that ideal crispy exterior and creamy interior.
Reserve Starchy Pasta Water 💧
Save 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining; use it to loosen the peanut sauce to the perfect consistency and help it cling beautifully to every noodle strand.
