If using tofu, press the tofu block for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to make the marinade.
Divide the marinade into two portions. Use one portion to marinate the chicken cubes, and the other portion to marinate the tofu cubes. Let them sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet or wok, add another 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the tofu until golden on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the wok. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas to the wok. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and honey (or maple syrup) with 1 tablespoon of water to create the stir-fry sauce.
Return the chicken and/or tofu to the wok and pour the stir-fry sauce over everything. Toss to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
