Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water, for steaming
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 package (16 ounces) extra-firm tofu,
  • drained, patted dry, cut in 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce

Method

  1. Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot. Push in the legs of the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the bottom position in the pot. Spray the tray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the tofu and cornstarch and gently toss until evenly coated. Then evenly spray the tofu with cooking spray. Transfer the tofu to the tray.
  3. Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 390°F, and set time to 15 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking; the unit will steam for approx. 3 to 4 minutes before crisping.
  4. When cooking is complete, ensure tofu is crispy. If necessary, add more time to unit for crispier tofu. Transfer tofu bites to a medium bowl and toss with Buffalo sauce. Serve hot with blue cheese and vegetable stiks as desired.

Notes:  I was impressed with the crispy results.  I'm really not all that fond of tofu, but this works okay.  I'm half tempted to try a cinnamon sugar version.
