Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Drain the tofu and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Place the tofu in a colander and pour the boiling water over the top. Now pat the tofu dry with a paper towel and place into a plastic zip top bag.
  • Add tamari, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the bag, then seal the bag and give it a good shake. Re-open the bag and add one tablespoon of cornstarch, then reseal and shake to coat. Repeat this process with the remaining cornstarch, one tablespoon at a time, until the tofu is well-coated.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for one minute per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and allow to drain.
  • Once the tofu has cooked, add the bok choy to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned and wilted.
  • Give the sauce a good stir and add it to the skillet along with the cooked tofu. Toss well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  • Serve the stir fry in bowls topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
