Orange Lacquered Tofu
- 1/4 cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 2 Tbs. orange juice
- 2 tsp. maple syrup or honey
- 2 tsp. dark sesame oil
- 1 14-oz. pkg. extra-firm tofu, drained well and cut crosswise into 8 1/2-inch-thick slices
- Combine tamari, orange juice, syrup and sesame oil in medium bowl; whisk to blend.
- Season to taste with pinch of freshly ground black pepper (or cayenne, for a little more bite).
- Spray large cast-iron or nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add tofu, and cook, without disturbing, about 7 minutes, until crisp and golden.
- Turn over, and cook about 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
- Pour in tamari mixture, and shake pan back and forth to coat tofu.
- Reduce heat to medium; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until sauce is syrupy and tofu is glazed (sauce will get sticky if cooked longer).
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
