We absolutely love this easy low sodium orange tofu recipe – it’s bright, flavorful, and SO good with your favorite sauteed veggies. Orange chicken used to be a favorite of mine growing up – but there is SO much sodium in restaurant/take out recipes… I had to find a way to make it better at home without the salt.

To reduce the sodium in this sauce, I used liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. Liquid aminos have a fraction of the sodium, but still a ton of the great flavor of soy sauce. We always keep a few bottles of this in our pantry! It gives a great umami flavor to the orange tofu, with a reduced amount of sodium. Trying to keep it healthier this year!

What’s In This Baked Orange Tofu Recipe?

Tofu – I like using an extra firm tofu as the base of this dish.
Corn Starch: the secret to thicken the sauce at the end, it really makes a difference.
Garlic, Ginger, Green Onion
Sunflower Oil: our go-to oil for roasting or baking! Sunflower is a high oleic oil, so it’s best to use for high temperatures.
Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! And gives this orange tofu a beautiful color.
Sesame Seeds – I love adding a handful of sesame seeds to finish off this recipe! These seeds add a nice crunch and light flavor to this low sodium orange tofu.
Low Sodium Soy Sauce – or an alternative if you prefer.
Orange Juice

How To Make No Salt Orange Tofu

For the Tofu

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, tear the tofu right off the block into large chunks, about 1 square inch. Place the tofu in the bowl, and toss it with corn starch, sunflower oil, garlic salt, and turmeric. Mix well to combine.
Place coated tofu on the lined sheet pan, and bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway.

For the Sauce

In a large saucepan, add the sunflower oil, garlic, and ginger root. Sauté over low heat for 4-5 minutes until garlic and ginger begin to brown.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, orange juice and chili flakes and bring to a boil.
Whisk in the corn starch to thicken the sauce, and continue to stir over low heat.
Once tofu has finished cooking, toss with the orange sauce. Top with sesame seeds and green onion, and serve with rice and veggies. Enjoy!
