  1. I was looking for a recipe nearly the same as this. I didn't have the time for marinade and, like another reviewer, wanted the tofu fried. Sprinkle a little cayenne on the drained tofu (it won't be too hot if you only dust it) then fry it with 1-2 T peanut oil and 1/2 the garlic and ginger. Keep it moving and with enough oil or it will stick. Remove from the pan, add more oil if necessary and saute the vegetables. Mix the tofu back in, top with the sauce and serve. Very good and quicker than marinading for 30 minutes.
     
  2. This was delicious. Things I'd modify next time I make it: Add peanuts for some added flavor & crunch. And I would fry the tofu (I used extra firm) seperately briefly before adding it to the rest of the vegetables to get it slightly more crisp.
     
  3. Delicious! I love the sauce! I halved the recipe and it made 3 nice size servings. Thanks so much kburie!
     
  4. I did marinade the tofu and I think it really improves the dish. I used some prepackaged stir fry vegetables that included broccoli, carrots, snap peas and added my own red bell pepper,onion and garlic. I made an alteration to the peanut sauce. I've made several Asian dishes and knew the amount of apple cider vinegar was too much. I only used 1/4 cup. Next time I would also cup down the amount of peanut butter and water to 3/4 cup each. Even with the additional veggies, there was too much sauce.
     
  5. This was a bit sweet for my husband, so I added red pepper flakes to try to counter it. I also fried my tofu. Adding peanuts is essential, in my opinion, as there isn't a lot of contrasting texture otherwise. The recipe directions are very good, clear, easy. Thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
