Ingredients

• 400 g Tofu
• 100 g rice
• Salt
• 1 egg
• 50 g spelt whole‑grain flour
• 50 g whole‑grain breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sweet and sour chili sauce
• 1 tsp sriracha
• 1 tsp rice wine
• 1 tsp mild paprika powder

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel, press with a weight or heavy pot for 30 minutes to drain, then cut into thick strips. Meanwhile cook rice in boiling salted water according to package instructions.

2. 2.

   Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Spread spelt flour and breadcrumbs on separate plates. Dredge tofu first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumb mixture. Place coated tofu sticks on parchment‑lined tray and bake in an air fryer at 200 °C for 18 minutes until crisp.

3. 3.

   In a bowl whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, chili sauce, sriracha, rice wine and paprika to make the glaze. Pour over the crispy tofu and cook for another 4 minutes at the same temperature in the air fryer. Slice spring onion into thin rings. Serve finished crispy tofu with rice, spring onion rings and sesame seeds.
