Before You Start

Pat the tofu cubes very dry and press them between paper towels, slice the carrot and bok choy, and have the cooked rice warm.

How To Make It
  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium high, about 1 minute, until it shimmers.
  2. Add the tofu in one layer and sear, turning the cubes, 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and crisp on all sides, then set it aside.
  3. Add the ginger and carrot and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the carrot begins to soften and the ginger smells fragrant.
  4. Add the bok choy and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the leaves wilt and the stems are just tender.
  5. Return the tofu, pour in the tamari, and toss, about 1 minute, until glossy and coated.
  6. Spoon over the rice and top with the sliced scallion to serve.
Fix It: If the tofu sticks and tears when you turn it, give it another minute; it releases on its own once the crust forms.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 19 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
