Key ingredient: GINGER

Ginger is SO good for you. It’s great for digestion. It helps reduce inflammation and heart attacks. It’s also a cold and flu relief, high in vitamin C.

Let’s get straight to it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet of tofu
  • 4 tablespoons of orange juice
  • 1.5 tablespoons of cornflower
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic
  • Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of orange zest
  • chilli flakes/ sriracha
  • sesame seeds
  • Stir-fry veggies – I used onions, sugar snap peas, peppers and mushrooms

Method:

  1. Drain tofu if necessary (I used extra firm so did not need to). Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. Prepare the vegetables and set aside. In a bowl, coat the tofu in a tablespoon of soy sauce and place on a baking tray in the oven for 20 mins.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cornflower and orange juice. In a saucepan, add this together with the soy sauce, orange juice and zest, ginger, garlic and chilli. Simmer for 15 mins, stirring regularly.
  4. Stir fry the veggies in a wok.
  5. Whilst the tofu bakes, ensure it doesn’t stick to the tray and turn it at least three times.
  6. Add the tofu, which should now be crispy, into the wok with the sauce.
  7. Serve with rice and sprinkle over some sesame seeds.

Enjoy!
