I was expecting the sauce to taste like real orange chicken and was disappointed in the flavor of the sauce. I even doubled the sauce to add vegetables. It was eatable but not fantastic.

I made the tofu differently, so I'm not reviewing that, but the orange sauce is killer, even though I had to leave out the chili paste! I used fresh orange juice, and didn't have any trouble with bitterness. Thanks!

I put in more veggies which I think it needs. Good flavour.

Delicious! I had some modifications that I felt improved it though (although I felt that it's an excellent recipe as-is). I reduced the quantity of sugar significantly (I think I'll cut the sugar out entirely next time I make it) since the Orange Juice I used was sweet enough. Additionally, I added a few splashes of rice vinegar to the sauce and it really made the flavor of the sauce sing. Lastly, I used red pepper flakes (and lots of them) instead of chili paste and stirfried vegetables with the dish (Trader Joe's Harvest Medley works wonderfully with this recipe). :)

I didn't coat the tofu with cornstarch and instead just fried it in a bit of oil in the pan. I really enjoyed this stir-fry and will make it again.

we really like this overall. If you like the spice level depends a lot on how spicy you like your food. I like medium spicy food and it was just right for me. For folks that don't like spicy food....might want to cut back on the chili paste. It was not bad but gets a 4 as is. I added some stuff to bring it up to snuff for a re run: added 1/4 tsp of ginger, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of sesame seeds and 1minced garlic clove, sugar snap pea pods and minced green onions.. It does have a lot of orange flavor. Again...depends on how much citrus you like. Hubby and I liked it as is. At first my daughter did not like the orange/thought it was too much but as she ate more it grew on her.

Good, but when using tofu, even extra firm tofu, it is much better to first put between some paper towels, and put a plate with some weight ( i.e. a large can of tomatoes ) on the plate, to extract most of the moisture from the tofu. Then let it sit in the liquid used for cooking to absorb the flavors. You can then proceed as in the recipe. Much ,more flavorful.

This is really yummy! I do not normally love tofu but fried up like this, it could become a staple in my home. Even my meat eating husband was impressed. I would use different veggies next time as I don't really find carrots suit this dish. Peppers and snap peas would probably be perfect.
