Good preparation for tofu! I had never tried a preparation like this before for it, and it worked quite well. I served with Recipe #425268 and made extra of the peanut sauce with it so that it could work for both the kebabs and the tofu. Loved the combo. Thanks for sharing! -
DH and I enjoyed this! I did use my Recipe #63211. Also fried in oil with the addition of sesame oil for added flavor and aroma. I cut the tofu into 8 pieces to go father. Does take at least 5 minutes to fry per side and do be sure to make it hot oil! Thanks for the great eats! -
Fast and easy! I have never made tofu this way, and I was happy with how crisp it turned out on the outside. I just fried in canola, since that's what I had. I had some leftover satay sauce from another recipe and was looking for something to use it. Drizzled with sesame oil when serving. I could see this being a good method with marinated tofu as well to have a bit more flavor if you are eating it alone. Thanks for sharing! -
Photos from Rita and Sharon made me keen to try this recipe. Who knew tofu could be so good. I had a dipping sauce that needed to be used up, but next time I will try it with Rita's Recipe #63211. Made and thoroughly enjoyed as part of the Celebrate the Humble Soybean Tag Game for the Asian Forum. -
I loved the crispiness of this dish! I used Szwhaun Spicy Stir Fry Sauce mixed with a little homemade barbeque sauce. Thanks Dreamer!
