Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce or 2 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons black bean sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
1 teaspoon crushed fresh ginger
12 ounces extra firm tofu, cut into squares (21/2 inches wide x 1/2 inch deep, about 3 cups)
4 bunches baby bok choy
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or 1/4 cup parsley

Steps:

  • For the sauce, whisk the honey, chili sauce, black bean sauce, oil, garlic and ginger in a 9 inch baking dish until combined. Add the tofu and marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer for more flavor. Remove the tofu and scape marinade off. Reserve the marinade!
  • Spray a non stick skillet with cooking oil and brown the tofu on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Brush some sauce over the tofu, turn again and brush once more, cooking for 1 more minute. Set aside.
  • Warm the remaining sauce in a small skillet over low heat.
  • Steam the bok choy just until bright green, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook!
  • Place the bok choy on serving plates.
  • Top the bok choy with the tofu and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
