Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and cubed

- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger

Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the cubed tofu with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Add the coated tofu and cook until crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

- Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
