Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 2: Push the tofu to one side of the pan. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the empty side, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup trimmed snap peas, and 1 medium julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the tofu and vegetables evenly.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
