How to make it

1
Toss tofu cubes with cornstarch and a pinch of salt.
2
Pan-fry in neutral oil until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
3
In the same pan, simmer tangerine juice, zest, soy, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes for 4–5 minutes until syrupy.

Remove the pan from the heat—important—then whisk in the cannabis-infused sesame oil.
5
Return tofu to the pan and toss to coat in glaze.
6
Serve over jasmine rice with scallions and sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Pulling the pan off the heat before adding infused oil preserves THC.
Pair with Pineapple Express or Tangie for a doubled-up tropical citrus profile.
Want extra crunch? Air-fry the cornstarched tofu at 400°F for 12 minutes.

Why this pairing works

Limonene — in your strain and on your plate

The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
