Method

1. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and the carrots into thin rounds.
2. Peel the whole orange and cut the flesh into small wedges, removing any seeds.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, soy sauce, chili flakes, and cornstarch until the starch is dissolved.
4. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the carrots for 5 minutes with a splash of water until slightly softened.
5. Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes until lightly browned on the edges.
6. Pour the orange sauce mixture into the pan and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the liquid thickens into a glossy glaze.
7. Toss in the fresh orange wedges, cook for 30 more seconds to warm them through, and serve.

Tips

• Add the orange wedges at the very end to keep them juicy and prevent them from breaking apart.
• You can add a teaspoon of ginger to the sauce for an even more aromatic Asian profile.
