Method

1

Press tofu between paper towels under a heavy weight for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until smooth.

3

Cut bell pepper into 1-inch pieces and broccoli into florets; slice green onion for garnish.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5

Working in batches if needed, add tofu cubes and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden on one side, then turn and cook another 3-4 minutes until all sides are crispy; transfer to a plate.

6

Add bell pepper and broccoli to the same skillet; stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

7

Return tofu to the skillet, then pour in the sauce; toss gently for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.

8

Transfer to serving bowls or plates over rice or noodles; garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
