I love all the classic Asian "fast food" type dishes out, I mean who doesn't love take out?! This Tofu Orange "Chicken" is made with beautiful tofu pieces that are baked to a perfect crispiness. Combine it with the fact that the sauce is virtually sugar-free and you have a winner for dinner! Please make this for dinner or lunch, you will not be disappointed!

Crispy Tofu

2 16 oz firm tofu packs (drained of all access water)

2 tbsp avocado oil

2 tbsp cornstarch

Orange Sauce

½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

⅓ cup rice vinegar

3 garlic cloves (minced)

2 tsp ginger paste

1 tsp Sriracha sauce

¼ cup coconut aminos

½ cup monk fruit sweetener

2 tbsp cornstarch

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cube your drained and very dry tofu. Place in a ziploc bag with the oil and cornstarch. Shake the bag until all the pieces of tofu are coated.

Place tofu in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil for an additional 5-10 minutes until nice and golden brown.

While tofu is baking, make the orange sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients (minus the cornstarch) in a large wok on medium heat. Once the sauce is boiling, take a little bit of the sauce in a bowl and combine it with the cornstarch to create a slushy. Add back to wok and boil sauce again.

After about 4-5 minutes of the sauce boiling and once the tofu is baked, add in the tofu and stir together. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and/or sesame seeds. Enjoy over rice!
