• Preheat the oven to 400°F if baking.
• Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
• In a bowl, mix tofu with cornstarch, soy sauce, olive oil, and salt to coat evenly.

2. Cooking Methods:

• Oven Method:
  • Place tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden.
• Pan-Frying Method:
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry tofu for 10-12 minutes, flipping every few minutes until all sides are crispy and golden.

3. Prepare the Orange Sauce:

• In a nonstick pan, add orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar. Simmer on low heat for 5-6 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch to make a slurry.
• Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens.

4. Combine and Serve:

• Add the cooked tofu to the sauce, stirring gently until all the tofu is coated.
• Serve hot with rice, noodles, or steamed veggies. Garnish with orange slices or chopped green onions, if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with steamed rice, noodles (like soba or udon), or a side of vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots.
