Sticky Orange Glazed Tofu

This is a recipe that has been tried and tested many, many times. It is my ultimate comfort food, I have perfected the recipe to a fine science after years of tweaking and adjustments to make it just right. It’s even been cooked for vegan and non-vegan friends alike, and I have always had an overwhelmingly positive response.

📝 Cooking Method

  1. Tear up the tofu into chunks and toss with cornflour until all pieces are well-coated.
  2. Put the pieces in the airfryer and cook for around 10 minutes until slightly crispy.
  3. Mix up the wet batter and immerse your tofu chunks into this. Once fully coated, transfer in batches to a pan of hot sesame oil.
  4. Turn regularly and allow the pieces to crisp up in the pan. Put the cooked tofu pieces to the side and add in some more of the uncooked ones. Follow this process until all pieces have been fried until golden and crispy. You may need to add more sesame oil.
  5. Get all your tofu pieces back in the pan. Now combine your tofu coating ingredients and add this into the pan. Turn to a low heat and allow this to infuse with the tofu for 5 minutes.
  6. Whilst waiting for the coating to cook over, combine your tofu glaze ingredients.
  7. Once ready, add this to your pan. It should be quite watery at this stage, but it will cook down. Allow this to simmer on a low heat for 5–10 minutes until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Top with sesame seeds, and serve with noodles or fried rice.
