The BEST and EASIEST Takeout Meal You Can Make at Home
-
Finally, a delicious AND healthy Orange Cauliflower or Tofu recipe that you can make at home! Simply whip up the batter and breading, bake, and toss in Orange Sauce. You will love the flavor from the Orange Sauce that is made with real oranges and fresh ginger instead of nasty oil. Skip the takeout and make this instead!
To make the breading for this recipe, we used oat flour. Instead of buying oat flour we make it by simply blending rolled oats in the Vitamix. Then we threw together a fast batter by combining chickpea flour and water. Once the batter and breading are done, you can get to coating your cauliflower/tofu. While that is baking we are going to make the sauce!
The Orange Sauce is so easy to make and bursting with flavor! Just add the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. If you are avoiding salt, you can leave out the soy sauce. Don’t worry, it will still be extremely tasty without the soy sauce!
Can I use a different sauce?
Definitely! If Orange Sauce isn’t your thing, you can use this recipe as a blank canvas. Toss the cauliflower or tofu in WYW Sauces for a delicious meal that is even easier! Our Asian Everything Sauce or Indian Everything Sauce are amazing options for this one.
We decided to serve our Orange Cauliflower and Tofu with brown rice and steamed veggies. You can also enjoy it on its own, on a salad, in a nourish bowl, in stir-fry, or with our Eggless Egg Rolls recipe. The possibilities are endless!
Find this recipe in our Well Your Favorites Vol. 1 cookbook!
This recipe is from page 85 of our Well Your World World Favorites Volume 1 Cookbook! This cookbook has an array of recipes including breakfasts, snacks, sauces, salads, and suppers (like this recipe)! It is available in a physical or digital copy, perfect for those outside of the US.
To really take this dish up a couple levels, we even sprinkled on some chopped green onions and black sesame seeds. This isn’t a necessary step, but it definitely elevates the dish visually and with flavor! And don’t forget to add some WYW Sriracha for the perfect kick.
We hope you love this Orange Cauliflower or Tofu! Make this one when you are craving that classic takeout flavor without the feeling weighed down. Show us how you enjoy this recipe by posting in our Facebook group!
