Ingredients
- 14 oz block, pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu

- 2, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu, frying for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same wok, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 3: Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 large julienned carrot, and 1/2 cup snap peas. Stir-fry vegetables for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant.
- Step 4: Return the tofu to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 3 sliced green onions over the stir-fry before serving hot with steamed rice or noodles.
