Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp; remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups snow peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp honey.
  5. Step 5: Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything; toss gently and cook for 2 minutes until sauce coats all ingredients and heats through.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately over steamed rice.
