This recipe is great and will be made again. I made this for dinner and was in the mood for something hot, so I cooked the tofu until brown, then added the cabbage for a couple minutes while my soba noodles finished cooking. I immediately tossed everything together for a nice, warm meal. For the dressing, I had to make a couple substitutions. I did not have orange juice, so I used 1 tbsp water and 1 tbsp lime juice. I also minced 1 garlic clove in place of the bottled minced. I am normally not a fan of bean sprouts, but it worked really well in this dish, as well as the cilantro. I had the leftovers the next day, cold, and they were more salad-like, very good as well. Thank you for posting.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
