Tofu, AKA soybean curd, might seem like a relatively new addition to our fridges and recipes, especially to the stubborn carnivores who, let's be honest, probably don't see the point in this meat substitute. But Tofu has, in fact, been around for over 2,000 years. That's right it was first developed in China around 200 BC!
It's come a long way since Buddhist monks ate it as part of their strict vegetarian diets way back when. These days some use Tofu in desserts. Vegan cheesecake anyone? Typically, there are three types of tofu: silken, soft, and firm. The extra-firm tofu is most like meat, soft is pretty versatile, while the silken tofu is smooth and creamy, almost like custard, and can be used as to thicken and add protein to morning smoothies.
In this case, we are sharing a recipe for a delicious breaded Tofu stir-fry that's stress-free and super quick. All you need is the Tefal ActiFry Genius XL 2in1 air fryer, which has advanced technology to cook different parts of your meal the healthy way (99% less added fat*) and still have them all ready at the same time.
Unlike a conventional stir-fry made on a hob, the ActiFry uses little to no oil and does all the stirring for you. Follow the simple instructions, load it up and just sit back and wait for a delicious healthy meal to unfold without lifting a finger. Over to-fu.
