Instructions
Cook rice or grain according to package directions.
Cut tofu into small, even cubes and place in a large bowl filled with a mixture of cornstarch and salt. Shake the bowl to toss the tofu until it is covered with the cornstarch mixture. (Don't stir it or you will break up the tofu and it will no longer be in nice neat cubes).
Set the temperature gauge to 370° F (188° C) and wait for the oil to reach that temperature. Place the coated tofu in the frying basket and set it down in the hot oil.Cook for about 2 minutes then shake the basket to break up any pieces that are stuck together. Place back in the oil and cook for about 2 more minutes until the pieces float in the oil. (This will equal about 4 minutes of total cook time).

Use 2 tablespoons of corn or potato starch for a thicker sauce.
Use 1 tablespoon of corn or potato starch for a thinner sauce.
Don’t add the starch after the liquid warms up, it will only dissolve in cold water and get clumpy if added to hot liquid.
The sauce will thicken as it cools.

You are so awesome for this recipe!! I moved to a place so high up in the mountains, there's no take-out and I miss orange tofu so much. I'm making this right away!
