Ingredients

Tofu

  • 1 package (14 oz) firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • Dash crushed red pepper flakes, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400° F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • 2
    Stack 2 paper towels on work surface. Cut tofu in half crosswise. Cut each half into 6 pieces. Arrange tofu on paper towels; let stand 10 minutes to drain. Pat top of tofu dry.
  • 3
    In large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup orange juice, the soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Add tofu; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to marinate.

    Place cornmeal in another large bowl. Remove tofu from marinade; discard marinade. Dredge tofu in cornmeal, coating each piece thoroughly. Arrange in single layer on cookie sheet.

    Bake 10 minutes. Turn tofu pieces over; bake 10 minutes longer or until hot and crisp.

    To make sauce, mix 1/4 cup orange juice and hoisin with whisk until blended. Sprinkle pepper flakes over top. Serve tofu with sauce.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Although not necessary, using previously frozen tofu makes it chewier and helps it absorb flavors better.
  • tip 2
    Tofu is an excellent source of protein and calcium.
