Method

Pat the tofu dry, cut into cubes and coat with the cornflour. Shake off any excess to leave a thin coating. Chop the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a bowl, mix the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, cloves and cinnamon.
Heat 15 g oil in a frying pan and brown the tofu for about 5 minutes, turning the pieces. Transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 5 g oil and soften the garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Pour in the orange mixture, return the tofu and cook over a medium heat for 6–8 minutes, until the sauce reduces and coats the cubes. Serve straight away.
