Asian Orange Tofu Bake

This Asian-inspired tofu has a good balance of sweet and spice.  I highly recommend saving your leftover marinade to boil into a tasty sauce!

Yield: 4 – 5 servings; Prep Time: 2 hours; Cook Time: 25 minutes

• 2 blocks extra firm tofu, drained and lightly pressed
• 2 C orange juice
• 4 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 4 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp chipotle oil (or any spicy oil; you could also use evoo and just add red pepper flakes)
• 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup

1. Slice each block of tofu into 7 pieces and set aside.
2. In a large tupperware, stir together oj and cornstarch to mix.
3. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients and stir to combine.
4. Place the tofu slices in the marinade, making sure each piece is fully covered.  Cover and let sit for 2hours or overnight.
5. Remove slices from marinade and place in a single layer on a foiled and sprayed baking sheet.
6. Bake for 25minutes at 450 degrees Farenheit.
