How to Make Orange Teriyaki Tofu

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Press 14oz block of extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow baking dish, combine tofu with ½ cup of the marinade (see below).
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining marinade ingredients: ⅓ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, ¼ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
Pour the marinade over the tofu, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining marinade, until the tofu is golden brown and caramelized.
Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Serve immediately and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.
