Como fazer Orange Chicken Style Tofu
- Press 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu and sauté until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 green onions (finely chopped) and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from heat and add the cooked tofu. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve the Orange Chicken Style Tofu over cooked rice. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
- Optional additions: 1 inch piece of grated ginger, 1 teaspoon orange zest, or 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate for a more intense orange flavor.
