Sesame Orange Tofu with Roasted Green Beans & Sticky Rice
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quinoa speckled rice
- 2 cloves garlic - peeled and minced
- 1 Valencia orange - half juiced and half cut into wedges (divided)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium tamari
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 6 oz green beans - trimmed
- 10 oz organic extra firm tofu - patted dry and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp white sesame seeds - divided
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 scallions - trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Directions:
Cook the rice
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine rice, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until grains are tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 cups water)
Prepare the orange sauce
- Whisk together garlic, orange juice, tamari, sugar, and sriracha in medium bowl.
Roast the green beans
- Combine green beans, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss. Roast until tender and browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp vegetable oil)
Crisp the tofu
- Combine tofu, cornstarch, just 2 tsp sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to coat tofu. Heat sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated tofu and cook, tossing occasionally, until crispy and browned in places, 5 to 8 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp sesame seeds) (TIP: Work in batches for the 4-serving meal.)
Add the sauce
- Add scallions to skillet with tofu and cook until beginning to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add orange sauce. Toss to coat and cook until sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. (TIP: For the 4-serving meal, add all the tofu back to the pan before adding the scallions and sauce.)
Serve
- Divide sticky rice and roasted green beans between serving plates and top with sesame orange tofu. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds and serve with orange wedges. 好吃!
