Crispy Orange Tofu

Crispy Orange Tofu is a delicious Chinese dish that consists of deep-fried tofu cubes tossed in a sweet and savory orange sauce. The tofu cubes are lightly battered and fried until they are golden and crispy on the outside while still being soft and tender on the inside. The orange sauce is made with orange juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and ginger, giving the dish its distinct sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is a great way to add a flavorful and protein-packed meal to any dinner table.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 1 pound extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cubed
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Step 1
    Place the cubed tofu in a large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Toss until fully coated.
  • Step 2
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy.
