Make the air fryer tofu
1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
2
In a large bowl, toss the cubed tofu with olive oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
3
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
1
In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
2
Slowly whisk in warm water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
Cook the noodles + vegetables
1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the peanut sauce.
2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the veggies (and 1 tablespoon oil if needed).
3
Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring often, until heated through and slightly tender but still crisp.
4
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the veggies and toss to combine.
5
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 Properly 🧊Wrap super-firm tofu in paper towels and place a heavy cast iron skillet on top for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness in the air fryer.
- Season Tofu Before Cooking 🌶️Toss pressed tofu cubes with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt 10 minutes before air frying to create a flavorful, crispy exterior that absorbs seasoning evenly.
- Make Peanut Sauce While Noodles Cook 🥜Whisk all sauce ingredients (peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic) together while pasta cooks, then thin with warm water to achieve a silky, pourable consistency that coats noodles perfectly.
- Toast Sesame Seeds for Depth 🤍Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before garnishing to unlock their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming rancid during storage.
- Reserve Pasta Water for Sauce 💧Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water to adjust sauce consistency—it creates a silkier coating than additional warm water and helps the sauce cling beautifully to noodles.
