This tofu Nando’s bowl is full of flavor and like a healthier alternative to a Nando’s takeaway - but vegetarian-friendly! The tofu is spicy, crispy, and full of flavor - and the spicy rice is absolutely delicious.

    2 servings spicy rice

Notes

You could also bake the tofu if you don’t have an air fryer and would prefer not to fry it - I would recommend baking for 15 - 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
You could also serve the tofu and spicy rice with some corn on the cob, tenderstem broccoli, or peas.
