Ingredients
Scale
- 8.8 oz (250 grams) extra-firm or super-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 orange, juiced

- Gently pat-dry the tofu using a clean kitchen towel or kitchen paper. Cut into cubes and add to a mixing bowl.

- Add the soy sauce to the tofu cubes and mix until combined.
- Next, add the corn starch and stir until evenly coated.

- Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining hoisin sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl.
- Once the tofu is ready, add the sauce and allow to cook for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened, is nice and sticky and coats the tofu cubes.
