Ingredients

Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
Firm tofu (14 ounces, cubed)
Cooking oil (2 tablespoons)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
Vegetable broth (1/4 cup)
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
Red pepper flakes (1 teaspoon)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable broth, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Carefully add the cubed tofu to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is lightly browned on all sides.
Introduce the chopped bok choy to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the bok choy is wilted but still vibrant.
Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and bok choy in the skillet. Stir everything well to ensure an even coating.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season your stir-fry with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve your Bok Choy and Tofu Stir Fry hot, paired beautifully with steamed rice or noodles.
