Spicy Ginger-Orange Tofu

• 1 lb. extra-firm tofu, rinsed, well-drained, cut into 1" cubes
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• 2 inch peel of an orange
• sea salt & cracked pepper
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice (keep 2 1" pieces of orange peel too)
• 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh ginger, sliced & minced
• 1/4 cup garlic, minced
• (optional) 1 chili of your hotness-choice, diced
• 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons tamari
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1. Toss tofu, corn starch, orange peel, sea salt & cracked pepper together in a bowl & set aside.
2. Whisk together vinegar, brown sugar, oj & pepper; & set aside
3. In a large pan over medium high heat, cook tofu in in oils for 4-5 minutes or until the tofu begins to turn golden. Add scallions, ginger, garlic & optional chili & continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the vinegar & sugar mixture & cook until the liquid has reduced about half & begins to look a bit sticky (3-4 minutes). Add tamari & sesame seeds & cook for another minute.
4. Serve with jasmine rice & steamed veggies (as you can see here, my veg of choice was broccoli--still with a bit of crunch).
