Orange Ginger Tofu Triangles

Soy - Tofu - -

INGREDIENTS

450 g / 1 lb firm tofu
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup shoyu
1/3 cup oil
4 T dark sesame oil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 T minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 t hot red chilli pepper flakes
1 spring onion, chopped into 2.5 cm / 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup roughly chopped coriander
2 dried chipolte chiles (optional)

METHOD

Turn the tofu on its side and cut it into 4 thin slices. Lay the tofu flat again and cut the block diagonally to make 8 triangles. Without separating the pieces, press the tofu for at least 30 minutes (to squeeze out excess moisture).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, shoyu, oils, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Separate the pressed tofu pieces and place them in a baking dish in a single layer. Cover with marinade and sprinkle with the spring onions and coriander. Cut the stems off the chillies, remove seeds and place the chillies in the baking dish. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Pour off some of the marinade so the tofu is covered halfway. Bake for 40-45 minutes, without turning, until the tofu is golden and most of the marinade has been absorbed.
