Description

When I get a craving for orange beef, I make up this tofu stir-fry! Pieces of firm tofu in a mildly spicy orange sauce. Serve over rice noodles, and use any vegetables you like!

Ingredients
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 carrots, sliced
Directions
  1. 1. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Place the 1/4 cup cornstarch in a dish; press tofu slices in the cornstarch to coat on all sides. Stir-fry in the wok 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Drain tofu on paper towels. Allow wok to cool, and wipe clean.
  2. 2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, orange juice, water, sugar, chili paste, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. 3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the wok, and stir-fry the carrots until tender. Form a well in the center of the carrots, and pour in the sauce. Bring sauce to a boil. Mix tofu into the wok, and continue cooking until coated with the sauce.
