Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Place 14 oz cubed tofu on the baking sheet and brush evenly with miso glaze. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
Step 3: While tofu bakes, heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 2 chopped bok choy bunches and 1 tbsp soy sauce, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until greens are wilted and bright green.
Step 5: Remove tofu from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle with any pan juices from the baking sheet.
Step 6: Serve tofu over bok choy, sprinkled with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for nutty crunch and visual appeal.
