Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp cornstarch to form a smooth sauce.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed tofu and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
  3. Step 3: Push tofu to one side of the skillet. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup snap peas, and 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Pour the sauce over the vegetables and tofu, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients, about 2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately.
