Instructions

Cook rice
1
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Wash and drain.
  • Stir together Honey-Garlic Sauce and half the soy sauce in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Add cornstarch and sesame seeds to a zip-top bag. Close bag, then shake to combine. Set aside.
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
  • Add tofu to the bag. Close bag, then shake to coat tofu with sesame-cornstarch mixture. Set aside.
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add sesame oil, then mirepoix. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
  • Add bok choy. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 1-2 min.
  • Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
  • When rice is tender, transfer veggies to the pot. Cover to keep warm.
  • Carefully wipe pan clean.
Cook tofu
4
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to the same pan (used in step 3) over medium heat. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch).
  • When the pan is hot, add coated tofu pieces. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. 
  • Transfer tofu to the large bowl with honey-garlic mixture. Toss until coated in sauce. 
Finish and serve
5
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and remaining soy sauce to the pot with rice. Stir to combine. Season with salt.

If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken.
