1

Prep the Tofu

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels or a clean dishcloth to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

2

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a minced garlic clove. Set the sauce aside for later.

3

Heat the Wok

Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the tofu from the wok and set aside.

4

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok and toss in your favorite stir-fry vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry them for about 5 minutes or until they're tender-crisp.

5

Combine the Tofu and Vegetables

Return the cooked tofu to the wok with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables and toss everything together until well coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6

Serve and Enjoy!

Garnish your tofu stir-fry with some toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for an extra touch of flavor and color. Serve hot as a main dish or alongside some steamed rice for a complete meal. Get ready to be transported to the vibrant streets of Asia!
