Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 1 block Firm tofu
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu block to remove excess water by placing it between two plates and weighing it down with a heavy object for about 10 minutes. Pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 cup of water. Stir well to create the sauce mixture.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons 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 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add 2 more tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until fully cooked and browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside with the tofu.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet. Add the remaining garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, dissolved in a small amount of water, to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Return the cooked tofu and chicken to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Let simmer for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of red chili flakes, if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
