Tofu with orange glaze

Ingredients

  • 1/2 block firm tofu

  • MARINADE

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp corn starch

  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp orange zest

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • ORANGE SAUCE

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1 garlic clove

  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger, or 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

  • 1/8 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 2 tsp corn starch

  • 2-3 tsp cold water

  • TO SERVE

  • 1/2 cup jasmine rice

  • 2 tsp scallions, finely chopped

  • pinch of chili flakes

Method

  • PREPARE THE TOFU
  • 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.
  • MARINATE TOFU
  • Cut the tofu block into cubes of (about 0.4 inches/1cm) or roughly pull apart the tofu to create irregular pieces of tofu – this mimics chicken texture the best!
  • Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, orange zest, and salt.
  • Add the tofu chunks into the marinade and combine with a spoon.
  • 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.
  • Bake on the center rack for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway. Meanwhile, prepare the curry sauce.
  • ORANGE SAUCE
  • Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • 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.
  • Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a light simmer, occasionally stirring, until the sugar dissolves – about 2-3 minutes.
  • 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 – about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Toss the crispy hot tofu in the sauce until coated.
  • Serve over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with scallions pieces or chili flakes to add a spicy touch.
