Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp.
Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Toss in 2 cups trimmed snow peas, 1 julienned medium carrot, and 2 sliced green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (if using). Pour sauce over tofu and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
