Instructions

Step 1: Cut the 14 oz extra-firm tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil and sauté 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until aromatic.
Step 3: Add 1 cup trimmed sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return the tofu to the skillet and pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and peas.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
