Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed tofu with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated, then spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. Step 3: While tofu bakes, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl until combined.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped bok choy and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly wilted.
  5. Step 5: Remove tofu from oven, add sauce to skillet with bok choy, and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute until sauce thickens. Add baked tofu and toss gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
