The Method

1
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into cubes.
2
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (if using), sriracha, and cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
4
Add the red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
5
Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant.
6
Add the Jersey greens to the skillet and stir-fry until wilted (about 3-5 minutes).
7
Pour the sauce over the greens and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
8
Return the tofu to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Stir in the cashews.
9
Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy tofu, toss the cubed tofu with a tablespoon of cornstarch before frying.

Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your desired level of spice.

Feel free to add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, or mushrooms.

Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
