Prepare the tofu by pressing the liquid out. Once pressed, tear the tofu into large bite-sized chunks.
Make the sauce by combining the orange juice, zest, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to a bowl or large measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
Place the tofu chunks into a large bowl and sprinkle on the cornstarch, a good pinch of fine sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss to combine so that the tofu is mostly covered.
Heat ½ an inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the tofu and cook for about 10 minutes, tossing often so that it gets browned on all sides. Once done, remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add in the orange juice mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, add the tofu pieces back into the skillet and cook for 1 more minute.
Serve with rice or your favorite side and ENJOY!
