Before You Start
Press and cube the tofu, shred the carrot, trim the bok choy, mince the lemongrass and garlic, tear the cilantro and mint, and bring a small pot of water to a boil.
How To Make It
- Season and pat the tofu dry, then sear it in a little oil over medium high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until golden and crisp at the edges, and set it aside.
- Cook the carrot in the same pan, 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender.
- Add the bok choy and cook, 2 to 3 minutes, until the leaves wilt and the stems are crisp and tender.
- Cook the rice vermicelli in hot water per the package, about 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not mushy, then drain and rinse under cool water.
- Add the bean sprouts to the hot water for about 30 seconds, until just tender and bright green, then drain.
- Toss the tofu, vermicelli, carrot, bok choy, and sprouts with the lemongrass, garlic, herbs, and a squeeze of lime, and serve.
Fix It: If the tofu sticks to the pan, wait until it is golden before turning it, since it releases on its own once a crust forms.
Air Fryer
- Heat the air fryer to 380F.
- Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
- Cook for about 16 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
- Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
