Preparation

Heat oven to 400° F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

Stack 2 paper towels on work surface. Cut tofu in half crosswise. Cut each half into 6 pieces. Arrange tofu on paper towels; let stand 10 minutes to drain. Pat top of tofu dry.

In large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup orange juice, the soy sauce and Sriracha sauce. Add tofu; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to marinate.

Place cornmeal in another large bowl. Remove tofu from marinade; discard marinade. Dredge tofu in cornmeal, coating each piece thoroughly. Arrange in single layer on cookie sheet.

Bake 10 minutes. Turn tofu pieces over; bake 10 minutes longer or until hot and crisp.

To make sauce, mix 1/4 cup orange juice and hoisin with whisk until blended. Sprinkle pepper flakes over top. Serve tofu with sauce.
