Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and slightly crispy.
Step 2: Push tofu to the side of the skillet and add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 cup trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp brown sugar, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and snow peas.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
