4 servings
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tipFor thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens. - 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or avocado oil), divided
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap. - 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions

Drain the tofu and press it firmly between several layers of paper towels, pressing down with your hands or a heavy pan for about 5 minutes, until most surface moisture is absorbed. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
