Instructions
BAKING TOFU
- Take firm or extra firm Tofu and cut in bite size pieces.
- Add sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper powder, salt and cornflour.
- Mix delicately so that spices get coated on tofu.
- Spread tofu on a baking tray. Alternatively you can shallow or Air fry tofu.
- Bake in preheated oven @180°C for 30-35 or until tofu turns somewhat crisp and brown. Don't miss to turn the sides of tofu midway.
COOKING SAUCE
- Take fresh orange juice, ginger, garlic, orange zest, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. Mix.
- Boil 3 minutes.
- Mix cornflour and water together and add to the pan. Mix.
- Simmer for a minute only.
- Add baked tofu and mix.
- If serving as a snack, then simmer to absorb all the gravy and in case planning to serve with rice or noodles, let some gravy retain.
- Serve hot after sprinkling white sesame seeds and spring onion greens. Enjoy.
Notes
- Don't add too much salt because soy sauce is already having a salt.
- Brown sugar can be replaced with maple syrup.
