Ingredients

Ingredients List:
  • 2, 16 oz blocks House Foods Extra Firm Tofu
  • ¼ cup Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
  • 2 tbsp Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill Cornstarch
  • Green onion, chopped, to serve
  • Sesame seeds

Orange Sauce

  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • ¼ cup Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Woodstock Organic Brown Sugar
  • 3 tbsp LR Rice Raw Honey
  • 2 tbsp Nakano Rice Vinegar
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1” knob ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill Cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. Prepare the Tofu (Press & Cut)
    Drain the tofu and press it between sheets of paper towels or kitchen towels to remove excess moisture, replacing towels as needed. Cut the tofu into cubes.

  3. Prepare the Tofu (Season)
    In a large bowl or bag, toss the tofu with the oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with cornstarch and toss again to evenly coat. Spread the tofu in a single layer on a nonstick baking sheet.

  4. Bake the Tofu
    Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip the tofu pieces and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until browned and crispy on multiple sides.

  5. Make the Orange Sauce
    While the tofu bakes, add all sauce ingredients except the cornstarch to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then add to the sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, until thickened and sticky.

  6. Toss the Tofu with the Sauce
    Toss the baked tofu with the desired amount of orange sauce. Serve hot, topped with green onions and sesame seeds, alongside rice or as desired, using extra sauce for drizzling.
