Instructions

1. Whisk the marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, to combine well.
2. Cut the tofu into bite-sized squares, and then press between paper towels to remove any additional moisture. Add the tofu and the marinade and toss to coat. Place in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight to let the flavors develop.
3. Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon to remove the tofu from excess marinade, and place in the pan. Cook until crispy on all sides, approx 10 minutes, and then add the marinade to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the sauce, thickens and coats the tofu. While the tofu cooks, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
4. Blanch the bok choy halves by adding them to the boiling water for 3 minutes, and then transfer them to an ice bath. Strain, prior to serving.
5. For serving, place the bok choy and tofu, side by side in bowls. Garnish the bok choy with drizzled sesame oil, sesame seeds, scallions, and chili flakes. Season with lime, salt, and pepper, to taste.
