00:00I woke up today wanting takeout, so this is what I made instead of ordering in.

00:04Orange chicken was my go-to order from the food court as a kid,

00:07and these tofu bites are an easier version that I can make at home.

00:10Tossing the tofu in seasonings and cornstarch and then pan frying is way less mess than deep frying,

00:15and you make the sauce straight in the same pan after.

00:17When I was a kid, I definitely didn't realize that there was actual orange in that sauce,

00:21and let's be real, maybe there wasn't.

00:23It just tasted sweet to me, but the fresh orange in these gives it a whole new layer of flavor

00:27that I definitely appreciate more as an adult.

00:29These are surprisingly easy for a fried tofu,

00:32and they remind me of that mall food court staple in only the best ways.

00:35I'm excited.

00:38Oh, it's got a little kick.

00:39They're delicious.
