Ingredients
For the baked tofu
- 28 ounces (2 packages) extra firm tofu
- 6 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
For the sauce
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup orange juice (about 3-4 medium oranges)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, grated or finely minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
- peel of 1 medium orange, sliced into thin strips
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Drain the tofu and pat it try with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, gently squeezing some of the excess moisture out.
- Slice the tofu into bite sized cubes, and gently toss together with the cornstarch, salt, and oil.
- Spread the tofu cubes out into a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, and bake for about 35-45 minutes, tossing once or twice during cooking.
- While the tofu is baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients, except the cornstarch mixture. Set aside.
- Remove the tofu from the oven when it is done cooking, it should be lightly golden brown and crispy on the outside, and set aside.
- Add the sauce ingredients, along with the cornstarch mixture, to a large saute pan, mixing to combine. Heat over medium heat until the sauce is just starting to simmer, then add the tofu cubes and toss everything together.
- Continue to heat everything together until the sauce is thickened and glossy.
- Serve along with white rice, and top with sliced green onion and sesame seeds, if desired.
