Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) of firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 2 cups of snow peas, trimmed
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons of honey

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the snow peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.

Honey Garlic Tofu with Snow Peas is a popular vegetarian dish that originated in East Asia. This flavorful and nutritious dish features crispy tofu cubes stir-fried with fresh snow peas in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. The dish has gained popularity in North America and can be found on the menus of many Asian fusion restaurants. The key to a delicious Honey Garlic Tofu with Snow Peas lies in the perfect balance of sweet honey, pungent garlic, and the freshness of the snow peas. Chefs often emphasize the importance of achieving the right texture for the tofu, ensuring it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
