Method
Check off steps while cooking so you keep the flow.
For the crispy tofu
Soak the tofu well and cut into cubes.
Mix white flour, whole wheat flour, Cow Free milk, soy, sweetener, a little salt, granulated garlic and black pepper for a smooth batter.
Dip the tofu cubes in the batter, arrange in an air fryer, spray a little oil and bake at 200°C for about 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
For peanut sauce
Mix PB2, soy, water and sweetener until a smooth sauce is obtained.
For the base and assembly
Filter the skinny pasta.
Transfer the skinny pasta and the sauce to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes just until everything is coated.
Put together a bowl with the skinny pasta, edamame, carrot, cucumber, red onion, green beans and the crispy tofu.
Drizzle over low-calorie garlic mayonnaise, sriracha and black sesame to taste and serve immediately.
Small tips that make a difference
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes before frying - that is the secret to crispness.
- Make the peanut sauce ahead and loosen with hot water to the consistency you want.
- Build the bowl in layers and add the sauce only just before eating.
Frequently asked questions
- How much protein is in the bowl?
- About 50g of protein per serving from the tofu and toppings - very filling for roughly 489 calories.
- Can I prep it for lunchboxes?

- Can I swap the tofu?
