Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press and drain 14 oz extra-firm tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and slightly crispy.
  3. Step 3: Remove tofu and set aside. Add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the same skillet, then add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
  4. Step 4: Add 8 oz halved baby bok choy and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until leaves are wilted and stems tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp honey until combined.
  6. Step 6: Return tofu to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and toss gently for 1-2 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
