Tofu14 oz
Cajun spice blend1 ½–2 tbsp
Lime2 tbsp
Olive oil2 tsp
Salt½ to 1/2 tsp
Rice1 cup
Oil½ tsp
Cilantro · finely chopped¼ cups
Sour cream · chopped

Instructions

Press the tofu for 15 minutes (wrapped in paper towel and a kitchen towel under heavy books, or in a tofu press). Slice it 1/4 inch thick or tear into bite-size pieces. Preheat the oven or air fryer to 350°F.
Mix the cajun spice blend with the lime juice, olive oil and salt to make a paste. Rub it onto the tofu and let it chill at least 15 minutes (up to an hour).
Bake the tofu at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or air fry at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Meanwhile, wash the rice and soak it at least 15 minutes, then drain it.
Put the rice in a saucepan with the salt, water and oil if using. Add a bay leaf if you like.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook covered for 18 to 20 minutes.
Fluff the rice, mix in the lime juice and half the cilantro. Taste and adjust carefully. Cover and rest 2 minutes.
Garnish with the remaining cilantro when serving.
