From my food science lab a million years ago. Updated to be tastier. We love this and serve it over wild rice.

1. Toast almonds (a pan works just fine, but don't walk away). Or use toasted almonds and chop.
2. Cook wild rice as directed, maybe 45 minutes before cooking the stir fry (1 cup rice, 3.5 cups water, 2 teaspoons concentrated veggie broth, boil 40 minutes, drain)
3. For the sauce, combine soy sauce, water, cornstarch, sugar, cayenne pepper, and ginger in a small blender. Set aside.
4. Have all the ingredients ready to go before heating the wok.
5. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside in a medium/large bowl (you could actually serve out of this later .).
6. Add 1.5 Tbsp oil to wok and stir-fry vegetables about 5-6 minutes - try for crispy, don't let them be raw. Add nuts and stir-fry another minute. Add to bowl with tofu.
7. Mix sauce well and pour into empty wok on about medium. Boil 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and a bit clear. Add tofu and vegetables back to the wok and stir to coat. Add green onions. Cover and cook another minute or 2 so everything is hot.
8. Gently stir in oranges, heat through, and serve over rice.
Serve over wild rice.
You can freeze the tofu the day before and then thaw it, or press it - that will make it extra firm.
