Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix tofu with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp water; set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 cup snap peas and 1 medium julienned carrot, stir-fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet, pour the sauce mixture over, and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately.
