"method": "* PREPARE THE TOFU\n* Wrap the tofu block with absorbent paper and place it between two chopping boards, adding a few books on top of the top board to add pressure. Set aside 30 minutes to release all the tofu moisture.\n* MARINATE TOFU\n* Cut the tofu block into cubes of (about 0.4 inches/1cm) or roughly pull apart the tofu to create irregular pieces of tofu β this mimics chicken texture the best!\n* Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.\n* In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, orange zest, and salt.\n* Add the tofu chunks into the marinade and combine with a spoon.\n* Lay the tofu pieces onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, make sure the tofu pieces don't touch each other or overlap.\n* Bake on the center rack for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway. Meanwhile, prepare the curry sauce.\n* ORANGE SAUCE\n* Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat.\n* Over medium heat, melt coconut oil, then stir in garlic, ginger, and cook over low heat to prevent the garlic from burning. Cook until fragrant for about 1 minute.\n* Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a light simmer, occasionally stirring, until the sugar dissolves β about 2-3 minutes.\n* Meanwhile, whisk water and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry into the hot orange sauce and keep simmering, occasionally stirring, until the sauce thickens β about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.\n* Toss the crispy hot tofu in the sauce until coated.\n* Serve over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with scallions pieces or chili flakes to add a spicy touch.\n",
"notes": "* Store in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months.\n* Miso soup is a great addition here\n* Pickled veg might be nice on the side?\n* URL: <https://www.theconsciousplantkitchen.com/orange-tofu-recipe/#Vegan_Orange_Tofu>\n",
