Orange Beef Style Tofu Stir Fry

Drescription

A vegetarian take on orange beef, using tofu stir-fried with a tangy citrus sauce and vegetables.

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying 1/4 cup cornstarch
1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut into strips
2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup warm water 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 carrots, sliced

Directions

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Place the 1/4 cup cornstarch in a dish; press tofu slices in the cornstarch to coat on all sides. Stir-fry in the wok 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Drain tofu on paper towels. Allow wok to cool, and wipe clean.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, orange juice, water, sugar, chili paste, and cornstarch until smooth.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the wok, and stir-fry the carrots until tender. Form a well in the center of the carrots, and pour in the sauce. Bring sauce to a boil. Mix tofu into the wok, and continue cooking until coated with the sauce.

Vegan Carrot Cake

This vegan carrot cake recipe with almond flour is packed with carrots, raisins and pecans, which add wonderful texture. Vegan butter and vegan cream cheese combine with rice flour to create a creamy, tangy frosting. Letting the frosting chill in the fridge is crucial so it thickens, giving it a more spreadable consistency.
