Instructions

Make the Crispy Tofu

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Press the tofu for 10 minutes, then pat dry. Tear into bite-sized chunks or cut into cubes and place in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle the tofu with the oil and tamari. Sprinkle with the arrowroot starch, panko crumbs, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the tofu in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, then bake for an additional 14–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • While the tofu bakes, whisk together the orange juice, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Pour the sauce into a non-stick skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  • Add the baked tofu to the skillet and gently toss until coated in the orange sauce.
  • Divide the brown rice and steamed broccoli between two bowls. Top with the orange tofu and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy.
