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.Reply

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.2Reply
