Ingredients

1 package (14 oz) firm tofu
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
Dash crushed red pepper flakes, if desired

Steps:

Heat oven to 400° F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
Stack 2 paper towels on work surface. Cut tofu in half crosswise. Cut each half into 6 pieces. Arrange tofu on paper towels; let stand 10 minutes to drain. Pat top of tofu dry.
In large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup orange juice, the soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Add tofu; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to marinate.
Place cornmeal in another large bowl. Remove tofu from marinade; discard marinade. Dredge tofu in cornmeal, coating each piece thoroughly. Arrange in single layer on cookie sheet.
Bake 10 minutes. Turn tofu pieces over; bake 10 minutes longer or until hot and crisp.
To make sauce, mix 1/4 cup orange juice and hoisin with whisk until blended. Sprinkle pepper flakes over top. Serve tofu with sauce.
