in the

Asian Aisle

2 Tbsp canola oil

1 lb ( 454 g ) extra-firm tofu

1 bunch scallions (green onions)

1 cup orange juice

1 packet Peanut Sauce Mix

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Suggested Partners: Jasmine Rice or Rice

Noodles

Equipment:

Large skillet or wok

Tongs (help for flipping)

Directions:

1 Drain tofu. Cut the

block horizontally into 3

slices.

2 Place each slice on a

double thickness of paper

towel. Cover with a

double thickness of paper

towel and press firmly

with hands until most of

the water is absorbed. Change paper

towels in between presses.

3 Cut each slice into 4

rows. Cut each row into

bite size pieces.

4 In a large skillet heat the oil over

medium high heat.

5 Add the tofu with

enough space in between

to turn over (also so they

brown and not steam).

Sear in two batches,

pressing gently with back

of spatula. Cook until golden brown on

each side (dont flip until browned).

Drain pieces on paper towel. Pat tops to

remove excess oil.

6 While tofu is browning, slice the

scallions into thin rounds, reserving 2

tablespoons of the darkest green for

garnish.

7 In the same skillet,

add a teaspoon more oil

if necessary, and sauté

scallions 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the orange juice and

peanut sauce mix and

bring to a boil. Turn heat down and

simmer for one minute.

8 Add tofu and

tomatoes, stirring gently

to coat with sauce and

heat through.

9 Serve over rice or rice noodles and

garnish with reserved scallions.
