Steps:
- Wrap the tofu block with absorbent paper and place it between two chopping boards, adding a few books on top of the top board to add pressure. Set aside 30 minutes to release all the tofu moisture.
- Cut the tofu block into cubes of (about 0.4 inches/1cm) or roughly pull apart the tofu to create irregular pieces of tofu - this mimics chicken texture the best!
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, orange zest, and salt.
- Add the tofu chunks into the marinade and combine with a spoon.
- Lay the tofu pieces onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, make sure the tofu pieces don't touch each other or overlap.
- Bake on the center rack for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway. Meanwhile, prepare the curry sauce.
- Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Over medium heat, melt coconut oil, then stir in garlic, ginger, and cook over low heat to prevent the garlic from burning. Cook until fragrant for about 1 minute.
- Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a light simmer, occasionally stirring, until the sugar dissolves - about 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk water and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry into the hot orange sauce and keep simmering, occasionally stirring, until the sauce thickens - about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Toss the crispy hot tofu in the sauce until coated.
- Serve over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with scallions pieces or chili flakes to add a spicy touch.
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

SPICY VEGAN MANGO AND TOFU STIR-FRY
This is a vegan sweet and spicy tofu stir fry that was inspired by a dish I get at my local Thai restaurant. I've been working through this recipe for several years now but finally have created something I love. Ensuring all of the ingredients are thinly cut results in uniform cooking as well as a crunchy and addictive texture. This recipe also works great with chicken if tofu isn't your thing!

Steps:
- Press the tofu and then chop it into 1/2-inch cubes. (See notes for how to press tofu)
- Stir together the flax, water, cornstarch, and flour in a bowl until combined. Add the tofu (in batches works best) and thoroughly coat each piece. Use a fork to remove tofu pieces and gently tap on the bowl to remove excess batter. Add a tablespoon of additional water if the batter gets too thick.
- Place a skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place 2 to 3 sheets of paper towels on a plate on the counter near your skillet.
- Use tongs to place half of the batter-coated tofu in the heated oil. Allow space between each piece for all the sides to get browned. Cook the tofu on each side until browned. Place finished pieces of tofu on the paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Add a little more oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining tofu.
- In a small bowl, stir together the orange coating ingredients.
- Return the tofu to the pan and add gently stir in the orange coating. Cook over medium heat until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Prepare the sticky orange sauce by combining all the ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Stir to combine. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until thickened. It shouldn't take very long. If it gets too thick, add a little hot water and stir to incorporate.
- Serve the tofu over brown rice with additional chopped green onions, sticky orange sauce, and sesame seeds. A side of steamed broccoli goes nicely with this dish too!

Steps:
- Place tofu block onto short-side and slice into 4 square wedges (they will be thin). Lay the tofu flat again, and cut the block diagonally to make 8 triangles. Without separating the pieces, place tofu on a plate. Cover with a paper towel, and place a heavy skillet on top. Set aside for 30 minutes to drain excess water from the tofu.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, oils, garlic, ginger.
- Separate the pressed tofu pieces, and arrange in a baking dish in a single layer. Cover with the marinade, and sprinkle with the green onion, chili strips and cilantro. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour off some of the marinade, so the tofu is covered halfway. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, without turning, until the tofu is golden and most of the marinade has been absorbed.

- Add the diced tofu and the cornflour to a bowl, and toss gently to coat. If there's still some moisture in the tofu, it will form a paste, but that's okay.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, and add the coated tofu. Cook over a high heat, tossing regularly, until it is firm and crispy all over - this could take up to 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat another dash of oil, and add the broccoli florets and diced red pepper. Cook for around 5 minutes over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until tender but still crisp.
- To make the orange sauce, combine the orange juice, red chilli, and soy sauce in a bowl. When the tofu is crispy, add the sauce, and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook until it has reduced into a thick, sticky sauce. Add the cooked vegetables, and mix to combine.
