Crispy Ginger Tofu with Orange Sauce

Adapted from Alicia Silverstone’s recipe in The Kind Diet, this is a great way to take plain old baked tofu and to turn it into something special. Throw it onto a pile of brown rice with a side of veggies, use it in a sandwich, or toss it into your salad.

Here’s what you need:

• 1 (7 oz) package savory-flavored baked tofu (I use Trader Joe’s brand)
• 1/2 cup corn meal (polenta)
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1 inch fresh ginger, finely minced or grated
• 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
• 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/3 cup maple syrup

1. Slice the tofu. Mix the corn meal, flour and ginger in a shallow bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Coat each tofu slice in the flour mixture, place into the skillet and brown each side. Transfer cooked tofu pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
3. Mix the orange juice and syrup in a small bowl. Serve tofu slices with dipping sauce.
