Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings

Ingredients:

- 400 g tofu
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 100 ml apricot jam
- 100 ml fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ginger (grated or powdered)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press out any excess moisture. Cut the tofu into cubes or slices.
