Description
A delicious and healthy Ginger-Sesame Glazed Tofu & Bok Choy Stir Fry that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups bok choy, chopped (about 2 medium heads)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped bok choy, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and add the cooked tofu. Toss everything together to coat in the sauce and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
Notes
- For added heat, include a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha in the sauce.
- Substitute bok choy with other greens like kale or spinach, or add additional vegetables such as carrots or broccoli for variety.
