Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 4 heads baby bok choy
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 2 stalks scallions, sliced
• 1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Rinse the bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt, and cut each head lengthwise into quarters.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the bok choy to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the leaves are tender but the stalks remain slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
