Orange Tofu

This is the ultimate Panda Express copycat recipe! I finally feel like I’m enjoying their delicious orange chicken – totally plant based!

Before I stopped eating meat, I spent a ridiculous amount of money at Panda Express – I loved their orange chicken and fried rice! I have been tweaking this recipe for years, trying to get the sauce to just the right flavor and texture. I can finally say I’ve done it! This sauce, combined with my one pot fried rice and baked tofu, is pure nostalgia in a bowl! Plus, it only takes 10 minutes to make and I always have the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients:

• 16 oz baked tofu
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp orange zest

Method:

• Add all sauce ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Transfer to a large saucepan.
• Heat over low-medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency.

• Turn off heat & add your baked tofu.
• Serve over white or fried rice, or whatever you like. Enjoy & share!
