Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice
    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  2. Prepare the Tofu
    Drain the tofu and squeeze out any excess moisture. Optionally, press the tofu using a heavy object or a tofu press for 20 to 30 minutes to remove additional moisture.
  3. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and toss with the cornstarch.
  4. Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Place the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Prepare the Sauce
    Whisk together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
  6. Cook the Bok Choy
    In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the bok choy and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bok choy is just tender. Transfer to a plate.
  7. Combine the Tofu, Bok Choy, and Sauce
    Finally, heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  8. Lower the heat, then add the crispy tofu and sauce. Toss for 1 minute to allow the sauce to thicken.
  9. Turn off the heat and add the bok choy and cashews, tossing again until everything is well coated.
  10. To Serve
    Serve over cooked rice and garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.
  11. Refrigerate for Up to 3 Days
    Best enjoyed when freshly prepared. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
