Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial as it ensures the tofu absorbs more flavors and gains a crispy texture when cooked. Cube the tofu into small, consistent pieces for even cooking.
2. 2.
   In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed tofu. Cook the tofu cubes, turning occasionally, until they achieve a light golden-brown color and have a slightly crispy exterior, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. 3.
   While the tofu is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey until fully combined. This mixture should be smooth, with the honey completely dissolved into the soy sauce, creating a sweet and savory glaze.
4. 4.
   Add the cooked tofu to the soy sauce and honey mixture, stirring gently to ensure each piece is fully coated. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly as it simmers with the tofu, about 2-3 minutes. The tofu should be glossy and the sauce slightly sticky when ready.
5. 5.
   Finally, add the cooked edamame to the skillet, tossing gently to combine with the tofu and glaze. The edamame adds a crunchy texture contrast to the soft tofu. Serve immediately for the best texture, ensuring the dish is warm and the flavors are fully infused.
