How to Prepare Sticky Lemon Orange Tofu [Vegan]

For the Baked Tofu:

  1. Add pressed, cubed tofu to a mixing bowl with all the seasonings, except corn starch. Gently toss using a spatula until the tofu is properly coated in the seasoning.
  2. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for an hour or overnight.
  3. To coat the tofu in corn starch; use a baking tray and sprinkle with the corn starch. Spread the marinated tofu onto the baking tray and gently toss the tofu in the corn starch until all the tofu is evenly coated.
  4. Remove the excess corn starch and bake in a preheated oven at 360ºF for approximately 30 minutes until the tofu is crispy.
  5. Remove from oven and toss baked tofu with the Sticky Lemon Orange Sauce.

For the Sauce:

  2. Remove from heat and pour over the baked tofu, when ready.
