Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 package (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and dried with a paper towel
1/2 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or chili paste
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (zest of 1/2 medium orange)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
8 mini sweet peppers
1-1/2 cups snap peas, top stems removed
1 green onion, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

Slice the tofu into 3/4 inch cubes and place in a medium sized bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, orange peel, honey and vinegar. Pour 1/2 of it over the tofu and gently mix through. Marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 day in the fridge.
Heat the oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking pan with foil and spray the foil.
Place the marinated tofu on the foil and bake 10 minutes.
While the tofu bakes, put the peppers and snap peas in a bowl and pour remaining marinade over them, mixing to thoroughly coat the vegetables. Add the vegetables to the baking pan, spreading them in 1 layer if possible. Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place in a serving dish. Sprinkle with the green onion and optional cilantro.

4 PointsPlus (Old plan)

Chop the garlic and ginger together. If your ginger is extremely moist and fresh you can leave the peel on. If it's older more mature ginger, then you'll need to peel it before chopping.

Also chop the green onion and optional cilantro together. As a garnish it's pretty and actually serves as the final flavor punch.

1/2 minced small green chili or 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, can also be substituted for the Sriracha or chili paste however make sure it is evenly distributed on the tofu or else some bites will be really spicy!
