The Best Orange Garlic Tofu

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside.

Step 2

Using a towel, pat the block of tofu dry. In a large bowl, tear the tofu into bite-size pieces with your fingers. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cornstarch then toss until evenly coated. Spray with high heat oil and toss again to coat. Transfer tofu to the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in a steamer basket for several minutes, just until light green and tender. Careful not to overcook. Turn off heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, combine the orange juice + zest, chili paste, tamari, minced garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine. Turn heat to medium-low until sauce begins to simmer. Add the tofu and stir until evenly coated in sauce.

Step 5

Serve tofu and broccoli warm with cooked rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional), and enjoy!
