Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 block (350g) extra-firm or firm tofu, (drained, rinsed, and pressed, and cut into 1" cubes (see notes))
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons oil, for frying ((more if needed))
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instruction

  • To prepare the tofu: In a medium bowl toss the tofu in the cornstarch, shake off excess cornstarch and set tofu cubes aside. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes until all sides are golden brown, a couple of minutes on each side. Drain tofu on paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
  • To prepare the orange ginger sauce: Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small pot. Whisk to combine, making sure the cornstarch is mixed well. Put the pot over medium-high heat and whisk until the sauce thickens about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from heat, toss in the tofu and stir to combine. Serve over rice with garnishes.
