Before You Start

Press and cube the tofu, slice the zucchini and mushrooms, dice the tomato, mince the garlic, and have the cooked rice ready.

How To Make It
  1. Sear the cubed tofu in the olive oil over medium high heat, 8 to 10 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp at the edges, then set it aside.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, 5 to 6 minutes, until softened and their liquid has cooked off.
  3. Add the zucchini and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until soft and lightly golden.
  4. Add the garlic and tomato and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, until the tomato breaks down into a light sauce, then fold in the basil and return the tofu.
  5. Spoon it over the rice and serve.
Fix It: If the tofu is bland, salt it right after searing while it is hot, since a hot surface takes on seasoning best.
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 24 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.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
