Method

Preparation

Press the extra firm tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes and toss with salt, pepper, and cornstarch.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of neutral oil. Fry tofu cubes in a single layer for about 5 minutes, flip, and cook until golden brown.
Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté bok choy whites for about 3 minutes, then add bok choy greens and cook for another minute.
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet. Pour sauce over the mixture and toss to coat evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
