INGREDIENTS:
500g firm tofu, pressed, cut into cubes
1/2 cup potato starch for coating the tofu
Vegetable oil for frying

Orange Sauce:
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (Navel orange)
Zest of 1 orange
1.5 tbsp soy sauce (we used low sodium)
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp hot sauce
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp grated ginger
cornstarch slurry (1/4 cup warm water + 1tbsp cornstarch)
spring onion for garnish
Salt to taste

Procedure:
1 Wrap tofu in absorbent paper or cloth and place a plate or chopping board on top until excess liquid comes out. Set aside for 30 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into cubes

2 In a bowl or large plate, add potato starch and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Coat the tofu cubes into the potato starch.

3 Heat about 3 tbsp neutral oil in a pan over medium high heat and fry the tofu cubes until crisp. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4 In a sauce pan, over medium heat, add orange juice, soy sauce, hot sauce, sugar, rice wine, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a light simmer with occasional stirring. Whisk in cornstarch slurry and let simmer until the sauce thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat then add orange zest and stir well to combine with the sauce.

5 Toss the tofu into the sauce until coated. Garnish with spring onion. Serve with rice.
