Line a Flexible Cutting Mat with paper towels. Place the tofu on the mat and top with another paper towel. Place something heavy, like a sheet pan on top to drain excess moisture.<\/li><li>For the sauce, use the Microplane\u00ae Adjustable Fine Grater to grate the ginger to measure 2 tsp (10 mL). Grate the orange to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL) of orange zest. Juice the orange with the Juicer. Add the ginger, orange zest, juice, and remaining sauce ingredients to a Small Batter Bowl and whisk until combined; set aside.<\/li><li>Uncover the tofu and place it in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and salt; toss to coat.<\/li><li>Heat <em>1 tbsp (15 mL)<\/em> of oil in the 12&#8243; (30\u2011cm) Stainless Steel Nonstick Skillet over medium-high heat for 3\u20135 minutes. Add all the tofu and sear for 2\u20133 minutes. Flip and sear for an additional 2\u20133 minutes, or until it\u2019s browned on two sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet.<\/li><li>Trim the ends off the zucchini and cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut the top off of the bell pepper, and remove the seeds and veins with the Scoop Loop<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. Cut the pepper into quarters. Slice the zucchini, bell pepper, and snow peas with the Quick Slice.<\/li><li>Thinly slice the green onions; set aside the greens for the garnish.<\/li><li>Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the whites of the green onions, zucchini, bell pepper, and snow peas; saute for 4\u20136 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Add the water chestnuts, tofu, and sauce and stir to coat. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thickened.<\/li><li>Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice. Top with the reserved green onions and cashews.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yield:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>4&nbsp; servings<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrients per serving:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Nutrients per serving: Calories 330, Total Fat 6 g, Saturated Fat 0 g, Cholesterol 0 mg, Sodium 440 mg, Carbohydrate 55 g, Fiber 6 g, Sugars 19 g, Protein 15 g<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cook&#8217;s Tips:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can substitute the tofu with 1 lb.
