Ingredients
For the eggy tofu
½block firm or extra firm tofu
1tablespoonreduced sodium soy sauce
1tablespoonwater
½cupdiced onion
½cupdiced carrotabout 1 ½ to 2 carrots
1teaspoonturmeric
¼teaspoonblack saltfor an eggy flavor. You can use regular salt, if you can't find black salt.
For the cauliflower rice
3cupsriced cauliflowerCauliflower minced into pieces smaller than the size of a pea. You can do this by hand with a box-style cheese crater, use your food processor to pulse into pieces, or buy pre-riced, bagged cauliflower.
In a large bowl, crumble the tofu (you're going for scrambled egg-size pieces, not ricotta here), then toss with the rest of the eggy tofu ingredients. Air fry at 370° F for 10 minutes, shaking once.
Meanwhile, toss together all of the cauliflower rice ingredients in a large bowl.
Add all the cauliflower rice mixture to your air fryer, shake gently, and cook at 370° F for 10 more minutes, shaking after 5 minutes. Riced cauliflower can vary quite a bit in size and different air fryer cook at different rates, so if you feel like yours doesn't look done enough at this point, you can cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes. Just shake and check in every couple of minutes until it's done to your liking.

Notes
Nutritional information is for a side dish portion. Air fryer cauliflower rice serves 5 to 6 people as a side dish or 3 as an entree. I calculated for 5 servings.Save a dish and toss the riced cauliflower mixture together in the same bowl you used to toss the tofu mixture together. No need to even rinse it out in between uses. You can even use your serving bowl for mixing, just rinse it out before you dish up the cooked cauliflower fried rice.Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or in the air fryer at 350° F for about 5 minutes.
