Ingredients

14 oz extra-firm tofu
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 cups broccoli
1 cup bell peppers
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Step 1: Press tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tsp sesame oil, minced garlic, and stir-fry broccoli and bell peppers for 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 4: Whisk soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Pour sauce over vegetables, cook for 1 minute until glossy, then return tofu to skillet. Toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
