Sesame-Ginger Tofu and Kale Stir-Fry

1.Press the tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup). Set aside.

3.Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4.Add the cubed tofu to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and fry for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

5.Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

6.In the same skillet, add the chopped kale and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt but remains vibrant green.

7.Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the kale, then pour the prepared sesame-ginger sauce over the mixture.

8.Toss everything together in the skillet for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the tofu and kale evenly and heat through.

9.Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion before serving.
