Crispy buffalo tofu bites
Source: Ninja Speedi Quick Start Guide & Recipe Book
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
