This was good. I cooked it a lot longer than the recipe stated, but it was yummy. I would definitely make it again.

Loved this! I must admit to adding lots of dried chilies due to a psychotic obsession with spice, but ... hey - the base recipe and the techniques made for a tasty dish. My boyfriend and I were both surprised at how good this was!

One of my favorite tofu recipes ever! Spicy and yummy. I use honey instead of Splenda because sugar substitutes freak me out. Serve with brown rice and steamed broccoli.
