Ingredients
- 12 oz tofu, firm or extra firm
- 2 cups Bok choy washed and roughly choppedAd
- 3 tablespoons tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Press the tofu
- Start by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess water. To do this, wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, place it on a plate, and then place a heavy object on top (such as a cast iron skillet or a few canned goods). Let it press for about 15-30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Prepare the marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tamari sauce, lime juice, garlic and ginger.
Marinade the tofu
- Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes. In a shallow dish, marinate the tofu cubes with the sauce, cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to marinade.
Cook the tofu
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes, setting the rest of the marinade aside and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped green onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to ensure even cooking.
- Add the bok choy and the rest of the marinade and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the bok choy is wilted but still crisp-tender.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if desired
