Ingredients

  1. 14 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  3. 3 cups baby bok choy, halved or quartered lengthwise
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  6. 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  7. 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  8. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  9. 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sugar
  10. 2 green onions, sliced
  11. Optional: toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining oil. Sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add bok choy and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and maple syrup.
  6. Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over everything.
  7. Toss to coat evenly and cook for another 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  9. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

  1. Add sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas for more veggies.
  2. Substitute sriracha with chili paste or fresh chili peppers for different heat.
  3. Toss with cooked noodles instead of serving with rice.
  4. Use tamari for gluten-free option.
  5. Garnish with crushed peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.
