Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Toast cashews and sesame seeds

Heat the oven to 350ºF.
On a sheet pan, spread the cashews in an even layer and roast in the oven until lightly toasted, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
In a pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the seeds to a plate and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.

Prep the vegetables and tofu

Scrub the carrots, trim the tops, and cut into 2-inch long pieces.
Peel the ginger and finely chop.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Rinse the snap peas.
Wash the dandelion greens and cut into 2-inch-long pieces.

Cook the vegetables and tofu

In the same pan used to toast the sesame seeds, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the carrots and cook until crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tofu and snap peas, and toss to coat with the other ingredients.
Add the stir-fry base, ½ cup water, and dandelion greens. Cover and cook until the greens are wilted, the snap peas are tender, and the tofu is heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. While the vegetables and tofu cook, make the vinaigrette.

Make the black sesame vinaigrette

Coarsely chop the toasted cashews.

In a bowl, combine the cashews and toasted black sesame seeds with the vinaigrette base and as much of the Korean chile flakes as you like.

Serve

Transfer the tofu and vegetables to individual bowls. Top with the vinaigrette and serve.
