Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the unpasteurized soy sauce, honey and 3 tablespoons of the lime juice. Add the tofu to the bowl, toss to coat and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining tablespoon of unpasteurized soy sauce, remaining tablespoon of lime juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar and sesame oil. Set “special sauce” aside.
Remove tofu from the marinade and coat lightly in flour. Heat one tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large wok (or skillet) over medium-high heat; add the spelt-coated tofu and sear 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden. Remove the tofu from the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels.
Add another tablespoon of coconut oil to the wok (or skillet) and heat over medium-high. Add the onions and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the shredded carrots and stir fry for another minute. Add the snow peas and stir fry for one minute. Clear the center of the wok (or skillet) by pushing the vegetables off to the side; add the scallions, garlic and ginger and drizzle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. Mash the scallions, garlic and ginger with the back of a spatula and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the wok (or skillet) from the heat and stir scallions, garlic and ginger mixture in with the vegetables.
Return the wok (or skillet) to the heat, add the cooked tofu and “special sauce”; gently toss ingredients together until vegetables are well-coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with steamed black or brown rice.
