Start by making crispy tofu, if desired. Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees. Then, squeeze excess water from your tofu and cut into cubes or rectangular slices.
Once air fryer is preheated, spray with nonstick spray and place tofu inside. Let cook at 370 degrees for 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway between.
Meanwhile, boil a pot of water or chicken broth and add garlic, miso paste, and sambal oelek (chili paste) and stir well. Bring to a rolling boil and add spices and dried mushrooms (if you used water as your base instead of chicken broth, go ahead and add your bouillon cubes in this step). Stir well and reduce heat to low-medium low.
Chop and prep your veggies. Then, add noodles to your pot and cook until al dente.
Turn off your heat and add veggies, stirring until blanched.
Serve into bowls, top with tofu and sesame seeds.
