Instructions

1. Step 1: Press and drain a 14 oz block of extra firm tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 large thinly sliced carrot. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the vegetables, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp honey in a small bowl, then pour over vegetables. Return tofu to the skillet and toss everything together for 2 minutes until heated through and sauce coats all ingredients.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
