I wanted to wait until Monday to post this recipe because I plan on doing the Meatless Monday thang. Don't worry, I'll still be posting recipes with meat in them since my readers like meat. I've been trying to eat more plant based meals and this has quickly become one of my favorites.
There was some good advice on a recent video that I watched, and they said to find at least 5 plant based recipes that you really love and just make those all the time and you'll be set. Humans tend to eat the same thing for days because they love it so much. This stir fry recipe I could eat maybe 5 nights a week? If not for breakfast too?

This meal can easily be made in 10 minutes! Oh wait, the title says 10, I'm sorry. If you don't like tofu use shrimp or chicken.
Vermicelli noodles cook fast. They are paper thin and rice can be substituted for this which I wish I would have made instead but oh well. Next time. It's good to try something new.
The sauce is made of hoisin, soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, and sriracha. All ingredients you can easily keep in your pantry. Enjoy!

💭Tips for Using Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like chicken, steak, and eggs. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use the chicken for quesadillas, salads, or DIY chipotle burrito bowls.
Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual. If the food ever burns or doesn’t cook properly this could be why the recipe didn’t work for you.
Cooking Times: Please note that all air fryers do not cook the same. Might have to adjust cooking time accordingly. Thank you.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
Oil: One of the reasons why air fryers are so great is because food doesn’t need a lot of oil. Especially frozen food. Just a small amount is fine or use Cooking Spray.

I usually kind of wing it, but keeping in mind that I feel there there should always be something sweet and something spicy.... here is sort of my basic recipe for a soy based one:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup water/beef broth/chicken broth/veggie broth
1-2 Tbsp Sambal Oelek or Sriracha ( I prefer Sambal Oelek for ingredients... Sriracha as a condiment)
2 Tbsp brown sugar/honey/white sugar (most often brown sugar)
Then in a separate container I mix a few Tbsp of corn starch with some water.
When I cook the stir fry, I cook the veggies... then add the sauce and after the sauce is all nice and hot I add the cornstarch slurry until thickened.

I would like to see what kind of sauce you use!

Yeah, the soft tofu sucks for stir fry IMO. I tend to use extra firm for all of my tofu needs. And stir fry is one of my favorite dishes. It is easy AND it is a great way of clearing out the fridge. We make stir fry at least once a month and I always slate it for a night near the end of the week so I can put whatever needs to be gotten rid of in it.
