my wife and i are on a constant search for low fat, low carb vegetarian meals -- this hit the spot -- my wife who normally does not like spicy loved it and me who loves spicy didn't need to add anything to it -- thanks for sharing -
This was my first time making tofu. . .so proud of myself! This was a tasty and filling dinner. My tofu didn't pick up the flavors from the sauce as much as I would have liked though. I used Recipe #318701 for the sauce for marinating; I doubled the recipe and then added extra water to the leftovers and poured it over the top of the plate for a boost of flavor. Served it with a side of broccoli for a nice healthy dinner this evening. Thanks! -
Wow, this was really good! My husband and I just yummed it up. I used Recipe #9388 for the peanut sauce, and it was delicious. You're right about the spinach--it really goes well with the tofu. The firm tofu I bought was still too soft even after pressing, so I may try extra-firm next time and see if it is less prone to disintigrating. Thanks for posting, Veganized[ty]! -
made this for my vegan sister and as picky as she is; she loved it. followed recipe exactly, using organic peanut sauce. thanks for sharing! super easy to make too.

Hello, I am 14 and I have many hobbies but I love food. I live in the # 1 rated small vegan city. *Yes!
I hate when people don't take my vegan lifestyle seriously. I use classic recipes and make them vegan. Because I am young I really don't know many recipes to post. So you may see me around commenting on your non vegan food ;]
