A simple, plant-based dinner that pairs crispy pan-seared tofu with fresh baby bok choy. Ginger and garlic provide a punch of natural flavor, making this a nutritious staple for busy weeknights.
Always pat your tofu cubes dry with a paper towel right before they hit the pan. Less surface moisture means a much better sear and a deeper, nuttier flavor.
