Ingredients
- 14 oz block extra-firm tofu
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 bunches bok choy
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: Press tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Whisk honey, 2 tbsp sriracha, and rice vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
- Step 2: Arrange tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush half the glaze over tofu, then bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes until golden and crisp on edges.
- Step 3: While tofu bakes, trim bok choy stems and slice into 2-inch pieces. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add minced garlic, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add bok choy and 2 tbsp water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Uncover and cook for 2 more minutes to evaporate excess water.
- Step 5: Remove tofu from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and serve over bok choy with sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
