Vegan Orange Glazed Tofu "Chicken" Recipe
Once the tofu is lightly browned, stir in the soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, marmalade, and ginger, whisking together to combine well and to and coat the tofu well.
Allow to heat for another 3-4 minutes, then add the cornstarch dissolved in water, stirring to combine.
Bring to a boil and cook just until sauce thickens, keeping in mind that the sauce will thicken a little bit further as it cools.
Serve your orange-glazed tofu immediately over plain steamed white or brown rice or another whole grain. Serve with a simple vegetable side dish, and you've got yourself a complete meal!
Recipe note: If you don't have orange marmalade, pineapple preserves would make a reasonable substitute. Sure, your glazed tofu won't be quite as "orangey", but it'll still be delicious!
