Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed firm tofu and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pan, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced medium red bell pepper, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return tofu to the pan. Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp honey. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats tofu and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
