Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Stir-Fry
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 14 ounces extra firm tofu
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Orange Sauce
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons honey, or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons low sodium tamari, or soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch, or arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the tofu into 5 slabs. Line a plate with a clean kitchen towel, then arrange the tofu in a single layer on the towel. Fold the towel over the cubed tofu and place something heavy on top such as a cast iron skillet. Press the tofu for approximately 1 hour.
- After an hour, stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise, then slice across to make 5 even rows. You should have 50 cubes of tofu. Remove the towel and season the tofu with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the orange sauce until combined. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the skillet then add in the cubed tofu and arrange into a single layer. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove the tofu from the skillet back onto the plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add in the red bell pepper, ginger and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute then add the tofu back in along with the edamame and stir everything together.
- Pour the orange sauce into the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens and everything is coated, about 2-3 minutes. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds over rice, cauliflower rice or soba noodles.
