"Great meatless teriyaki dinner. Use Tempeh in stead of tofu if you want.. I prefer Tempeh in this recipe."

Great tofu recipe. I served this over the weekend to a vegetarian Atkin's dieter guest. We all loved it. I left out the carrots and cut the tofu into long strips/fingers. Looked great and tasted even better.

It was quite tasty, but I found that the amount I used for the Teriyaki sauce made the dish too salty. A cup of the sauce would have been best. I also could have done this with meat like Chicken or Beef (even Fish!). Also, I could have added more veggies to this dish as well.

It was incredibly salty. It was probably the brand of Teriyaki sauce I used (kikoman). It tasted like salt soup. I checked the contents of the sauce and it was 25% sodium.

Never thought tofu can be that tasty. I left out snow peas due to personal choice. Modified the recipe a bit to fit my taste - I love my veggies fresh and still crunch. At step #2 I added tofu and Teriaki sauce, cover and simmer for 3 minutes - let the flavor soak in. At step #3, added frozen sweet pea, and bell pepper, stir for 1 minute. As soon as I added bean sprouts, I quickly remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Served with steam jasmin rice. Superb.

Very tasty. The only change that I will do next time is sear the tofu before I mix in the sauce due to personal preference.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
