## :pencil: Instructions

### Step 1

Make either [pan-fried][1] or [air fryer tofu][2].

### Step 2

In a large pan (large enough to fit the tofu and sauce), add [vegetable broth][3], orange juice, sugar (coconut sugar,
brown sugar, or pure maple syrup), honey, rice vinegar, [tamari][4] or soy sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes
(alternative) or Sriracha hot sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute or two.

### Step 3

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to combine, and then add to the pot.

### Step 4

Stir over medium-high heat constantly for a couple of minutes, until the sauce thickens.

### Step 5

Now add the tofu to the pan and stir to coat the tofu in the sauce. Remove from heat.

### Step 6

Serve over brown or white rice with chives. Sprinkle with green onions (optional) and/or sesame seeds (optional). Add a
side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower if desired.
