INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 ounces extra-firm tofu, well drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes*
1‑1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon canola or peanut oil
2 cups fresh cut-up vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, onion and snow peas
1‑1/2 cups hot cooked vermicelli
*Tofu must be drained before being stir-fried. Remove any remaining water by placing the block of tofu on several layers of paper towels and covering it with additional paper towels weighted down with a heavy plate. Let it stand for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into cubes.

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in resealable food storage bag; add tofu. Marinate 20 to 30 minutes. Drain tofu, reserving marinade. Stir marinade into cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetables; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add tofu; stir-fry 1 minute. Stir reserved marinade mixture; add to skillet. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute. Serve over noodles.
