Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy on all sides, then remove tofu and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp honey. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
5. Step 5: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and toss gently to combine and heat through. Garnish with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving over steamed rice or noodles.
