About
Keto Vegan Crispy Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry is an excellent Asian-inspired dish full of ginger and garlic flavors. The super firm tofu is made super crispy by placing it in an air fryer first. In the meantime, the broccoli is simmering inside the soy, ginger, garlic sauce. Right before serving, the tofu is tossed quickly into the sauce to glaze it. The result is a delicious mix of crispy tofu and crunchy broccoli in a delightful soy glaze high in protein and perfect for Keto Vegans!
What kind of tofu do I use?
Please use super firm tofu as it is very low in overall net carb and high in protein which is critical for a successful Keto diet.
Do I need to use an air fryer?
No, you do not need to own an air fryer. You can crisp up the tofu in the oven in the same manner at 400 F. The length of cook time will be longer than an air fryer, but you will achieve the same effect.
