Crispy tofu with orange

This is my crisp, aromatic, sweet and sour version, my kids love it, accompanied by white rice that I like to touch up after it is ready. In this case topped it with black sesame seeds but ginger or grated lemon peel works very well also.

Ingredients                                                                                                4-5  servings

•  1 block extra firm tofu.
• 3 cups sour orange juice (I buy it already bottled)
• 2 cups orange juice or juice-base.
• 2 tbsp sesame oil.
• 4 tbsp soy sauce.
• 1 large lime.
• 2 ½ cups cornstarch.
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar.
• Chopped orange and peel into strips.
• Vegetable oil.
• Salt to taste.

Roll each triangle tofu in cornstarch to coat it completely, heat the oil over medium heat and when hot, fry the tofu in small amounts until browned on each side, put them to drain on a plate with paper towels.
Now make the sauce, put 1 cup of sour orange juice that is left over, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan, cook over medium heat to dissolve the sugar, and add 4 tablespoons of cornstarch, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Cook until it thickens up. Add the orange zest strips when the heat is turned off.
Pour the sauce on a plate over the tofu when it’s ready to be served so the tofu stays crispy. Orange zest over it goes great as well.
