Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and set aside.
- In a large ziplock bag, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and the cubed tofu. Seal the bag and shake until the tofu is coated with the cornstarch.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, and pour the soy sauce-honey mixture over the tofu and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu and vegetables.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve the honey glazed tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!
