AIR FRYER VEGAN BUFFALO TOFU BITES
Tofu is breaded and air-fried then tossed in buffalo sauce for vegan buffalo wings to cure your spicy fix without oil. Freezing the tofu gives it a chewy texture that makes this snack just that much better. Serve with fresh veggies and vegan ranch dressing.

Steps:
- Remove tofu block from the package and discard liquid. Wrap tofu in cheesecloth, place on a plate, and cover with a heavy pot until remaining liquid has been squeezed out, about 10 minutes. Remove the cheesecloth and cut tofu into 20 1-inch, bite-sized pieces. Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze, 8 hours to overnight.
- Remove tofu from freezer and thaw on paper towels or a dry cheesecloth. Pat dry.
- While tofu is thawing, put cornstarch into a resealable plastic bag. Pour rice milk into a small bowl.
- Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place tofu into the bag with the cornstarch, seal, and shake to coat the tofu pieces completely. Remove tofu pieces and dredge each piece in rice milk.
- Place bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and pepper in the resealable plastic bag with the cornstarch residue; shake until well mixed. Place each piece of tofu, one at a time, back in the bag with the bread crumbs. Shake the bag until tofu piece is completely coated, tap gently to shake off excess, and place tofu on a wire rack while you repeat with remaining tofu pieces.
- Add coated tofu to the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket to loosen the pieces. Cook for another 3 minutes or until browned.
- Place 1/3 cup buffalo sauce in a bowl, add cooked tofu bites, and toss to coat. Drizzle remaining buffalo sauce over tofu and continue tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO TOFU BITES
This is another recipe I adapted to be vegan from the Healthy Cooking Class I took over Winter Break. Original recipe used chicken tenders. I really like this recipe because of all the whole grains and seeds that were incorperated into the breading mixture, and the fact that they were baked instead of fried. The chef who created the recipe did not use exact mesurements, so the dry spices that are added to the breading mixture are my own measurements and are all marked "to taste". The chef was also a big fan of the Kashi brand whole grain crackers, but those are NOT vegan. I substituted Wasa wholegrain crackers instead.

- Begin by draining and rinsing your tofu. Pat dry, and then cut the block in half, lengthwise. Lay slabs onto a flat surface, covered in a towel, and place a flat and heavy dish on top, to press tofu for at least one hour.
- Once the tofu has been pressed, cut slab into four strips, then rotate and cut into four again- creating cubes!
- Preheat oven to 425. In a large mixing bowl, add tofu, buffalo sauce, seasoning, and nutritional yeast. Mix gently with a spatula, as to not break up the cubes, but to make sure the seasoned sauce gets combined and all over the tofu pieces. Then, sprinkle the arrow root flour over the mixture, and gently stir, again, until all the pieces are covered in a thick batter type consistency.
- Next, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and arrange your tofu cubes evenly. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until golden brown and crispy! Serve with ranch as a dipping sauce, or top your favorite salad, wrap, or bowl with these little bites of spice! Pro Tip: I like to toss mine with 1-2 additional tablespoons of hot sauce after they cook- for a saucy wing type of experience! Enjoy for up to a week in the refrigerator!

- Advance prep: Drain and remove tofu from package. Slice the block of tofu into two 1/2 inch thin planks and place on a stack of 4-5 folded paper towels, placing an additional stack of paper towels on top. Set something heavyish on top (I use a cast iron skillet) to make a make-shift tofu press for water removal. Allow to sit. I usually start my tofu about 30 minutes before I want to start cooking.
- Mix cornstarch with garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the tofu and gently toss until evenly coated and no powdery spots remain.
