Ingredients
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 1-inch piece ginger, grated
- 1 15-ounce package extra-firm tofu, pressed for 30 minutes and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 small green bell pepper diced
- 1 small red bell pepper diced
- 1 cup diced fresh or frozen pineapple
- Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with coconut oil or coat with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the orange juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the tofu with the cornstarch, being careful not to break the tofu. Once the tofu is coated with the cornstarch, transfer it to the prepared baking dish. Add the bell peppers and pineapple, then pour in the sauce and gently stir to coat.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the sauce has thickened, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve over rice or quinoa and garnish with green onions.
