Instructions
- Press the tofu for 30 minutes and then cut the tofu block into bite sized cubes.
- Coat the tofu with cornstarch.
- Heat a pan on medium heat with some olive oil and pan fry the tofu cubes for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are crispy all over.
- At the same time, add the orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and minced garlic to a sauce pan and bring it up to a boil before lowering the heat to simmer.
- After 5 minutes, make a cornstarch slurry by combining 1 tbsp cold water with 1 tbsp cornstarch and add it to the orange sauce. Let it continue to simmer until thickened to your liking.
- Once the tofu is crispy and the orange sauce is done, coat the tofu in the sauce before serving.
Notes
- the sauce is enough for 2 blocks of tofu to turn this into 4 servings.
