Instructions
- Slice the tofu into 1 inch cubes and add to the paper towel lined plate.

- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Add the tofu, bell peppers, onions, green beans, and carrots to the pan. Sprinkle with pepper and cook for 9 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
- Add the kale and cook for 2-5 minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Pour in the sauce to the veggies and continue to cook for an additional 1 minute until thickened.
- Top with green onions and sesame seeds.
