Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.

  2. Cut the drained tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and grated ginger to create a marinade.

  4. Place the tofu cubes in a shallow dish and pour the soy sauce and ginger mixture over them. Gently toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu cubes (reserve extra marinade) and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove tofu and set aside.

  6. In the same skillet, add sesame oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  7. Add chopped bok choy to the skillet, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly wilted but still vibrant green.

  8. Return cooked tofu to the skillet with bok choy. Pour in remaining marinade and toss gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  10. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
