Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 60 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices toast (sourdough or multigrain)
- 1 whole avocado (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes (about 1 cm each).
In a small bowl, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, maple syrup, and cornstarch. Whisk well to create the glaze mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the orange glaze mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy sauce.
Return the cooked tofu to the skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece with the orange glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Lightly toast the slices of bread to your desired crispness.
Optional: Slice the avocado and prepare cilantro for garnish.
To assemble, place the glazed tofu evenly across each slice of toast. Top with sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and black pepper, and optional avocado slices and cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Orange Tofu Toast!
