Instructions

Step 1: Press a 14 oz block of firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss the tofu cubes in 1 tsp cornstarch for a light coating.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add the tofu cubes and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, then sauté 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, and 2 tbsp water. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and return the tofu to the pan. Toss everything gently and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
