Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed extra firm tofu and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 large julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Pour sauce over vegetables and add tofu back to skillet.
4. Step 4: Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats tofu and vegetables. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
