Sesame Ginger Sauce

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp grated ginger, I used a frozen cube
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp tapioca flour, or substitute cornstarch, arrowroot of regular flour
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions, to top

SERVE WITH

  • Brown rice or Coconut Rice
  • Side salad or stir fry veggies

Directions

  1. AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS: spray your air fryer rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and layer your tofu cubes. Coat the tofu in more cooking spray, and air fry on 375 for 25 minutes. Set aside.
  2. BAKING INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat your oven to 375 F. Layer your tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet, and coat in cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk together until smooth.
  4. Pour into a medium sized skillet and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the flame to let it simmer, and mix in your cooked tofu.
  5. Let the tofu sit in the sauce on a low flame for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve fresh over rice of choice and a side of veggies!
