Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer the tofu cubes, sprayed with some oil, to the basket and air fry for 5 minutes, or until browned on the edges. Flip and cook for another 7 minutes.

Step 3

While the tofu is cooking, fry the onion in the olive oil in a frying pan for 5–6 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and fry for a further minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, maple syrup and half the lime juice. Cook on a medium heat for 2 minutes. Now add the cooked tofu, toss and season to taste.

Step 5

Mash the avocado in a bowl with most of the remaining lime juice and season to taste.

Step 6

To make the slaw, put the cabbage, spring onions, coriander, yoghurt and a little extra lime juice in a large bowl. Mix well and season to taste.

Step 7

To serve, heat the tortillas/tacos according to the pack instructions and then top with the sticky tofu, avocado and crunchy slaw.
