Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning gently until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 1/2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, and 2 tsp sesame oil.
Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to tofu and peas.
Step 6: Remove from heat, garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
