Instructions

Prepare tofu: Make the crispy baked tofu.
Make orange sauce: While tofu is baking, place all sauce ingredients (except cornstarch) in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Set aside. Then in a separate small bowl, add 1 Tbsp. cornstarch and 1 Tbsp. cold water. Mix well to create a cornstarch slurry. Set this aside as well.
Heat orange sauce: Start warming the orange sauce when there’s about 5 minutes bake time remaining for the tofu. Add sauce to a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat on the stove. Bring to a light simmer, then add cornstarch slurry (stir again before adding). Stir well and let simmer for about 6-7 minutes, stirring often with a spatula, until sauce thickens.
Toss together: When sauce has thickened, turn off heat. Add baked tofu cubes and stir well to coat. Add sesame seeds if desired.
Serve: Spoon orange tofu over cooked rice, quinoa, noodles, or in veggie bowls. There may be some sauce leftover that you can spoon over your rice/noodles if you wish.

Notes

Serving suggestions: Serve atop cooked brown rice, white rice, quinoa, ramen noodles, etc. Then add a side of steamed veggies like broccoli, peas, green beans, etc.
Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or red pepper flakes before serving if desired.
For gluten-free: Use GF tamari.
