Sweet and Spicy Orange Tofu
Sticky tofu in a sweet and spicy orange sauce!
Calories: 403kcal
Ingredients
- 400 g firm tofu drained and cut into 1/2” chunks (~ 2 1/2 cups when diced)
- 3 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- 1 small head broccoli cut into small florets
- 1 red bell pepper diced
For the sweet and spicy orange sauce:
- 250 ml (~ 1 cup) orange juice (I used freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 red chilli finely chopped (adjust to preference)
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- To serve optional: sliced spring onions, sesame seeds, fresh orange chunks
Instructions
- Add the diced tofu and the cornflour to a bowl, and toss gently to coat. If there's still some moisture in the tofu, it will form a paste, but that's okay.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, and add the coated tofu. Cook over a high heat, tossing regularly, until it is firm and crispy all over - this could take up to 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat another dash of oil, and add the broccoli florets and diced red pepper. Cook for around 5 minutes over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until tender but still crisp.
- To make the orange sauce, combine the orange juice, red chilli, and soy sauce in a bowl. When the tofu is crispy, add the sauce, and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook until it has reduced into a thick, sticky sauce. Add the cooked vegetables, and mix to combine.
- Serve topped with sliced spring onions, sesame seeds, and fresh orange chunks if desired.
