Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss tofu cubes with 1 tsp cornstarch and 1/2 tsp sesame oil, then spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and crisp at edges.
Step 2: While tofu bakes, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl until combined.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and carrots, stir-frying for 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Add bell pepper and stir for 1 minute more.
Step 4: Pour sauce mixture over vegetables, stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens slightly (about 1 minute). Add baked tofu and toss gently to coat.
Step 5: Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
