Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp peanut oil
1 lb extra firm tofu
1 bunch scallion
1 cup orange juice
1 (3 1/2 oz) packet peanut sauce mix
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions:

Drain tofu. Cut the block into smaller sections, and press out the excess water by placing a double layer of paper towel both underneath and above.
Cut the tofu sections into bite sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high.
Add the tofu, making sure that they are in a single layer with some room in between. If you need to, do this in two or more batches. Sear the tofu and cook until golden brown on both top and bottom (don't flip until golden!).
Drain the pieces on a paper towel, removing as much excess oil as you can.
While tofu is browning, chop up the scallions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the darkest green for garnish.
After tofu is finished, add another teaspoon of oil if necessary and saute the scallions 1-2 minutes. Add the orange juice and peanut sauce mix and bring it all to a boil. Then simmer for another minute.
Add tofu and tomatoes, shirring to coat with sauce and heat through.
Best served over jasmine rice or rice noodles. We have used both and it is excellent!
