Ingredients
- 11.4 oz (325 g) extra firm tofu
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 Tbsp (8 g) cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 mL) orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sriracha hot sauce, or less if you prefer less spicy
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp (6 g) freshly grated ginger
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp (8 g) cornstarch
Optional garnish
sliced green onion
toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
Gently squeeze the block of tofu to remove as much liquid as possible, then cut into ½ inch (1 cm) cubes.
To a large bowl, add the tofu, oil, cornstarch, and salt. Gently toss to coat.
Spread the tofu evenly over a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in the oven on the centre rack for 20 - 25 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through baking.
To a large pan, add the orange juice, garlic, sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, and cornstarch. Do not turn on the heat yet. The cornstarch must be added and stirred into cold liquids. If added to warm or hot liquids, the cornstarch will clump. Once whisked, bring the sauce to a simmer for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring often until thickened.
Add the baked tofu cubes to the pan and stir to coat. Cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the tofu.
Serve with rice and veggies if desired, garnish, and enjoy!
