METHOD

1. Mix the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar and ginger in a container and add the cubed tofu. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours (but not more than 12 hours). 


2. When you’re ready to cook the tofu, remove it from the marinade using a slotted spoon.  


3. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok over high heat and add the tofu cubes. Fry until golden brown. 


4. Add the corn flour to the reserved marinade liquid and stir it with a fork to dissolve the corn flour. Add it to the frying pan or wok, and continue cooking until the marinade creates a sauce. Add the greens and cook over high heat, stirring, until the greens are wilted. 


5. Serve with rice and garnish with some sesame seeds (approximately 1 tsp per bowl) and a few drops of sesame oil for extra flavour.
