Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup orange juice (works best if you use frozen

concentrate with a little water added or

the juice of an orange)

1/2 cup tamari

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp ginger

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 lb firm or extra firm tofu

stir fry veggies of choice -- cauliflower, carrots, snow

peas, mushrooms, broccoli, water chestnuts

canola oil and sesame oil for the wok

rice

 

I suggest freezing the tofu before you make this recipe: it gets a spongier

texture and soaks up the marinade better. What I like to do is remove the brick

from the package, wrap it in saran wrap and freeze, then to quick thaw I usually

boil the tofu. I read somewhere that that returns the tofu to its original

consistency but in my experience, it stays much spongier and more meat-like in

consistency.

 

Cut the tofu into 1/4 inch cubes and press it between two clean dry towels to

try to draw some of the extra water out of the tofu.

 

To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients (besides rice, veggies, and

tofu) in a bowl--the measurements here aren't exact so play around with the

mixture until you like the flavor. Put the tofu in the bowl (I prefer tupperware

that you can close and shake around a little bit) and set aside for 15-20

minutes.

 

In a wok or large frying pan, heat oils--mainly canola with a bit of sesame for

taste--and fry tofu for about 6 minutes. Put the tofu to one side of the wok.

Now fry the veggies. After the vegetables have been cooking for a minute or so,

add a bit of water to steam them a bit. I suggest after 8 minutes or so

(broccoli and carrots take the longest to cook). Add the tofu to the veggies and

pour the remaining marinade over the whole mixture. Leave the mixture on medium

heat for another minute or so, then pour over rice and serve.
