- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
for the stir-fry
- 14 oz firm tofu

Instructions
- Make rice according to manufacturers directions.
- Remove tofu from package and place between two layers of paper towels (about 3-4) and place a heavy pan or lid on top. Drain the tofu for 5 minutes to release the extra liquid.
- Meanwhile make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients EXCEPT the cornstarch in a mason jar or other container with tight fitting lid; shake to combine.
- Cut the tofu into roughly a 1/2-inch dice and place it in a bowl with 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce you made.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in large wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu when the wok is hot and cook 2-3 minutes per side until the tofu is crispy and brown. Remove from the wok and place it on a plate. Add the other 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the wok and turn heat down to medium. Add the scallions and carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook 1-2 minutes more. Add the broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch to the remaining sauce and mix. Turn the heat up to medium-high on the work and add the sauce to the wok. Add the tofu and cook, stirring to coat everything, for 1 minute.
- Serve stir-fry over rice.
