Made this for dinner tonight. It was yummy! I tweaked the recipe a bit. I didn't have any red chili peppers and didn't use my food processor. I used diced carrots instead of peas and sauteed them with the onion until tender. Used your baked tofu recipe. For garnish I added green onion, cilantro and chopped peanuts. Thanks for sharing!
