Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 julienned large carrot, and 1 cup trimmed snap peas. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Return tofu to the skillet and pour in a sauce made by mixing 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tsp sesame oil. Toss everything for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
