Air-fry the tofu: Place the crispy vegan chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook on "Maximum Crispy" (or 400°F/200°C) for 4 minutes.
Sear the vegetables: Meanwhile, heat a wok on high heat with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the vegetables and sear on high for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Turn off the heat.
Warm the sauce: Stir 2 tablespoons of water and the sauce into the wok with the vegetables. Let the residual heat warm the sauce, or apply gentle heat just until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat immediately.
Toss and serve: Let the sauce cool slightly so it is no longer simmering. Toss in the air-fried crispy vegan chicken and mix well to coat.
Pro Tip: Never simmer the crispy vegan chicken in the sauce over active heat. Adding the crispy vegan chicken at the very end locks in that crave-worthy, super-crunchy texture!
