Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Rinse the bok choy thoroughly to remove any dirt, and cut each head lengthwise into quarters.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
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.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
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.
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.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
