Instructions

  1. Step 1: Steep 1 tsp Fuding white tea leaves in 1/2 cup boiling water for 3 minutes, then strain and reserve the tea infusion.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed extra-firm tofu and stir-fry for 5 minutes until edges are golden and slightly crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups chopped baby bok choy and 1 julienned carrot, stir-fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the wok, pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and the reserved tea infusion. Stir to combine.
  6. Step 6: Add the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats tofu and vegetables, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
