Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar.
Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Toss everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and snow peas.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving immediately.
