Directions
- Make the stir-fry sauce. Put the garlic, ginger, Thai chile, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey and lime juice in a blender or small food processor and blend. Set this aside.
- Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu and fry until browned on all sides. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Pour off the rest of the oil and add the bok choy and carrots to the wok along with about 2 Tbsp. of the sauce. Stir-fry until the bok choy wilts, return the tofu and the remaining sauce.
- Divide the rice between two shallow bowls. Toss stir-fry and divide over servings of rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and lime wedges.
