Meyer lemon stir fry

Someone from my office brought in some Meyer lemons, so I decided to add them to my already-planned meal. I made basically this recipe from Martha Stewart, substituting 1.5 lbs tofu for chicken and baking it instead of frying. I also used red pepper and onions instead of broccoli (thus omitted the water), because that's what I had on-hand. And finally, I baked about 3 leaves of kale, chopped and coated in olive oil and garlic, until crispy. I deglazed the pan with more soy sauce and sherry (since I didn't have any marinade left, whoops).

Here's the recipe for the marinade:

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey (I used about 1/2 Tbsp)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
