Wskazówki

Cut Sunkist® Navel oranges into half & squeeze out all orange juice - including pulp to minimise waste. Grate orange peel to get orange zest. Keep the remaining peels aside (more recipe ideas coming!)

Combine all ingredients required for the orange sauce & whisk them together.

Combine corn starch with garlic powder, onion powder, salt & black pepper.

Press & drain tofu. Tear them apart into chunks & coat them in the cornstarch mix.

Fry them in olive oil until crispy on all sides.

To a pan, add sesame oil & let it heat up. Fry off ginger-garlic paste for 2 minutes. Add white part of scallions & saute them for a minute.

Add in orange sauce & let it thicken. Add back in the crispy tofu and toss them in the sauce.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds & green part of spring onions.

Serve with hot rice and enjoy!
