Step 1
Press the 14 oz tofu for 10 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tofu in a single layer and cook until golden on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 sliced carrot and 8 oz sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 4 halved baby bok choy. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until bok choy wilts.
Step 5
Return tofu to the skillet. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot over rice or noodles.
