Spicy Orange Glazed Tofu

Spicy, citrusy, easy and quick. Better than takeout any day. Plus, now you know what to do with that jar of marmalade that's been lingering in the back of your fridge all this time!

- 1 brick tofu
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 6 oz orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 scallions, chopped
- handful of chopped peanuts or cashews

Fry tofu triangles as in Soy Glazed Tofu, and remove from the skillet.

Add garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes to the hot oil remaining in the pan and stir briefly until fragrant. Add marmalade, vinegar, soy sauce and stir well. Return tofu triangles to the pan and cook until sauce is reduced to a glaze, coating all the tofu triangles evenly. Remove from heat, sprinkle with scallions and peanuts, and serve with steamed brown rice and green vegetable of your choice (kale or broccoli is good).
