Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 4 teaspoons dark sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 green onions, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 dried chipotle chile pepper (optional)
Preparing/Cooking:
- Turn the tofu on its side, and cut it into 4 thin slices.
- Lay the tofu flat again, and cut the block diagonally to make 8 triangles.
- Without separating the pieces, place tofu on a cutting board.
- Cover, with a paper towel, and place a heavy skillet on top.
- Set aside for 30 minutes, allowing time for excess water to drain from the tofu.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, oils, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Separate the pressed tofu pieces, and arrange in a baking dish in a single layer.
- Cover with the marinade, and sprinkle with the green onion and cilantro.
- Cut the stems off the chiles, remove the seeds, and place the chiles in the baking dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour off some of the marinade, so the tofu is covered halfway.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, without turning, until the tofu is golden and most of the marinade has been absorbed.
