Mushrooms, Bok Choy, onion with roasted Sweet potato and Tofu

I stepped into the kitchen with no real plan last night… I had a giant box of mushrooms from Costco and half a bag of baby bok choy that I had to use asap. I started with washing and slicing the mushrooms, cooking them in a dry pan with some fresh rosemary tossed in half way through, until all the moisture was browned out. I set those aside and tossed in a heaping tablespoon of chopped garlic, a dash of olive oil, some red pepper flakes, and finally a diced red onion back into the hot pan. That caramelised while I quartered and washed the bok choy, throwing it into the pan when I was happy with the onions. Stirred that around and cooked until the bok choy was tender.

Somewhere in there I remembered that I had some sweet potatoes, so I diced one up, tossing it with olive oil and granulated garlic. They went onto one side of the air fryer sheet. On the other side I added some bite sized chunks of tofu that I tossed with garlic powder, cornstarch, and salt. That all got airfried for 10 minutes, tossed around then another 10 minutes in the airfryer. The potatoes were done, but I wasn't happy with the tofu yet… decided that I wanted a bit more flavouring so sprinkled some poultry seasoning on and stuck it back into the oven for 5 more minutes.

Done!



Mushrooms, Bok Choy, onion with roasted Sweet potato and Tofu

2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 onion, diced (I had a red one)
1 T minced garlic
½ tsp chili peppers
1 large sweet potato, cubed
200g tofu, cubed 
several baby bok choy
misc: garlic powder, granulated garlic, rosemary, cornstarch, poultry seasoning, salt

Saute mushrooms until all moisture has been released. Add chopped rosemary part way through. Remove from pan and set aside.
While mushrooms are cooking, wash & cube a sweet potato. Toss with olive oil & granulated garlic. Arrange on air fryer sheet.
Cube tofu. Toss with garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and a tablespoon of cornstarch. Arrange on the other half of the air fryer sheet. 
Bake sweet potato & tofu at 400F for 10 minutes. Flip and then bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the sweet potato. Cook tofu for a further 5 minutes.
After mushrooms are done, caramelize onion & garlic in already heated pan. When onions are gently browned (no need to do a full caramelize of the onions, 5 or 10 minutes is fine), add in washed and quartered bok choy and cook until tender. 
Add the mushrooms to the bok choy, heating through.
Assemble on a plate and enjoy!
