Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Press tofu between paper towels with a weight for 5 minutes to remove moisture.

  2. Step 2

    Cut pressed tofu into 3/4-inch cubes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, then add tofu cubes without stirring for 3 minutes until golden.

  4. Step 4

    Stir tofu gently and cook 2 more minutes until the opposite sides brown, then push to the side of the skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Add minced garlic to the empty skillet space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in honey and soy sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Toss tofu in the glaze until coated, cooking 1 minute, then transfer to a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Add bok choy to the same skillet and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and bright green.

  8. Step 8

    Serve glazed tofu over or alongside the bok choy.
