Instructions
- Bring three cups of water to a boil (on the stove or in the microwave).
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl; whisk until well-combined. Set aside.
- Drain the tofu and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Place the tofu in a colander and pour the boiling water over the top. Pat dry with paper towels, then transfer the tofu to a plastic zipper-close bag. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the bag. Seal the bag and give it a good shake. Re-open the bag and add one tablespoon of the cornstarch. Re-seal and shake to coat. Repeat with the remaining cornstarch, one tablespoon at a time, until the tofu is well-coated.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok set over medium-high heat. Add the white parts of the scallions and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium. Add the tofu to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute per side (6 minutes total).
- Give the prepared sauce a good stir and pour it into the pan. Toss with the tofu and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions (white and green) and orange segments. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot.
