- 2 packets 250g each of pre-cooked quinoa
- ½ white cabbage shredded
- 160 grams of edamame
- 1 green apple sliced into matchsticks

For the Dressing:
- 1 avocado peeled and chopped
- 15 grams of fresh coriander
- 15 grams of fresh basil
- 100 grams of thick Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk the soy sauce and beaten egg together in a small bowl. In another bowl, season the flour, and place the sesame seeds in a third bowl.
- Step 2: Using tongs, dip each piece of tofu into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat it with sesame seeds, making sure all sides are covered.
- Step 3: Place the coated tofu pieces in the basket of an air fryer lined with foil. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Step 4: While the tofu cooks, prepare the dressing by blending all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a little water if needed to achieve a thick yet pourable consistency.
- Step 5: Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Once done, divide the quinoa into four bowls.
- Step 6: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, edamame, and apple. Toss with the prepared dressing.
- Step 7: Top each bowl of quinoa with the dressed vegetables and crispy tofu. If desired, sprinkle with chili flakes before serving.
