Fantastic recipe; wouldn't change a thing. My husband is not a fan of tofu but devoured seconds of this flavorful dish. All the textures mingle very well. Served over brown rice.

tasty!! i love the spiciness mixed with the ginger and with all the sauce you can't taste the tofu. will definitely make this one again.

Kind of bland flavor in spite of great spicy sauce. I'd use only 1/2 the tofu and marinate it in the sauce before cooking, then cut the stems off the mushrooms which I didn't do this time. Maybe add some green onions. Love the peanut idea.

This is awesome! I'm not vegetarian, but I always found tofu an interesting food, it baffled me how I just didn't like it any of the ways I had tried it (I'm usually very open-minded when it comes to food). So this week I decided I was going to try and cook it myself. I marinated it in almost the same sauce as the one added at the end of this recipe (soy sauce and garlic and ginger) for a few hours, then followed the recipe and it was awesome.

easy and yummy. try over rice

Very good recipe - first time I've had success with tofu also. Don't try this without a nonstick pan though. If you like it spicy you'll need to add additional sriracha...

This recipe was pretty good, but next time I will definitely marinate the tofu before stir frying. Also, needs a noodle to round it out if you're feeding more than one person.

Love this! A little time consuming but well worth it. For more flavor I add onions to the tofu when browning. Also the sauce is great...I usually make extra. If I dont have Thai chile sauce on hand, I add cayenne to the sauce.

yummy! my first sucess at cooking tofu. at first i thought it would need some noodles or rice but i was wrong. quick and easy recipe i just got home from work and whipped it up in about 20 min. for lunch

Bridget - 2010-04-16 17:22:52

Live this! Super quick and easy. I toss with soba noodles - delicious!!

This if fantastic! I went easy on the oil and choose to use vegetable broth to saute the greens and onions to cut down on saturated fat. I think I'll add some peanuts next time and pour it over a bed of Quinoa.
