Description
A bright, tangy, and comforting plant-based twist on a takeout favorite featuring soy curls or tofu in a glossy orange sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup soy curls (or tofu)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- If using soy curls, rehydrate them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water. If using tofu, cube it and press to remove excess moisture. Pat pieces dry so they crisp up when cooked.
- In a bowl, mix together orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, ginger powder, and cornstarch until well combined. Whisk until the cornstarch dissolves and the sauce is smooth.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the rehydrated soy curls or tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides. Turn pieces gently so they brown evenly and develop a bit of texture.
- Pour the orange sauce over the cooked soy curls or tofu. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice to soak up the sauce. It pairs well with stir-fried vegetables, quinoa, or noodles.
