Description

Ingredients

• 1 large head of broccoli, chopped
• Vegetable oil
• 450 grams (16 oz) extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed and cubed
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Sesame seeds

Directions

• Steam the broccoli until bright green and tender.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and saute the tofu, stirring occasionally, until brown on each side.
• Mix the cornstarch with a couple tablespoons of the orange juice in a small bowl and set aside. Place the remaining orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and orange zest in bowl and mix well to dissolve the sugar.
• When the tofu is fried, make room in the centre of the pan and gently fry the ginger and garlic, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
• Add the broccoli and orange juice mixture to the pan and bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir it constantly until thickened - just a minute or two.
• Serve over rice and garnish with green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
