Ingredients

1 14-ounce block soft tofu, quartered

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

4 ounces sugar snap peas, thinly sliced

2 scallions, thinly sliced, greens and whites separated

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon cane sugar

Coarse salt

Preparation

In a medium pot, cover tofu with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add peas and scallion whites and saute, stirring, until peas are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Mix in scallion greens, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt.

Drain tofu and divide among plates. Top with pea mixture.
