Ingredients

• 200 grams firm tofu
• 60 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices toast (sourdough or multigrain)
• 1 whole avocado (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes (about 1 cm each).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, maple syrup, and cornstarch. Whisk well to create the glaze mixture.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the orange glaze mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy sauce.

Step 5

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece with the orange glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Lightly toast the slices of bread to your desired crispness.

Step 7

Optional: Slice the avocado and prepare cilantro for garnish.

Step 8

To assemble, place the glazed tofu evenly across each slice of toast. Top with sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and black pepper, and optional avocado slices and cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Orange Tofu Toast!
