Instructions
For the Orange Sauce
In a mixing bowl, add the cornstarch and Flax seed meal
Add the warm water slowly and stirring while adding the water.
Whisk well
Add the remaining ingredients for the orange sauce and whisk again
Set aside
Making the Tofu
Heat a wok or large pan for about 30 seconds
Add the oil (or spray the pan)
Add the 3 slabs of Tofu. Slabs are easier and faster to cook
Cook on both sides (medium heat) until they are crispy and dark brown on both sides. Should be about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and set aside for about one minute
When the tofu is cool enough, cut them into large cubes or rectangles. Each slab can be cut into about 9 pieces
Set the tofu aside
For the stir fry
Using the same pan as the tofu, add the bell pepper and Japanese Pepper. If there is not enough oil, add only 1 tsp of vegetable oil
Allow the peppers to turn brown around the edges
Add the garlic and stir well for about 30 seconds
Add the shitake mushrooms and cook for about 1 more minute
Stir the orange sauce first before adding it to the pan
Add the orange sauce slowly and stir with the other hand
If the combination is too sticky, add 1/2 cup of water
Stir for about 2 more minutes until everything is well coated in the orange sauce
Serve over cooked soba noodles or sushi rice. Can be served with any Japanese noodles
