Advocare Max Phase Day 14

Lunch

General Tso Tofu

1 package of extra firm tofu
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp liquid aminos

Sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 liquid aminos
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1-2 tbsp ground ginger or fresh grated
2 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp coconut nectar
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp siracha sauce

Preheat oven to 400.

Cut tofu into cubes and place in a large tupperware dish, add sesame oil, corn starch and liquid aminos. The best way to do this is to mix everything in a separate bowl then pour over tofu. Marinate for at least 30 min.

Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for sauce together in a small bowl and set aside.

After tofu is marinated, grab a large cookie sheet spray with olive oil and lay tofu across making sure they're not touching. Bake for 12 min turn over and bake additional 8-10 min. Tofu should be firm not hard or squishy when done.

Heat sauce in a small sauce pan on low, just to warm. 

As sides you can use quinoa, brown rice or even barley with broccoli or sautéed kale.

Once tofu is to your liking, plate on top of your sides and pour over sauce.  Or you can coat tofu in the sauce only in a separate bowl then plate over sides., which ever you prefer!
