“This recipe is absolutely fantastic--definitely a great way to de-carb a great dish and the flavors were all really on point. We have tried making it with the tofu a little smaller, as we like it a bit crispier, with 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch by 0.25 inch squares,” — a cook, 5.0★
“Excellent recipe. So tasty and delicious. Both my husband and I enjoyed it over brown rice served with a fresh side salad of thinly sliced cucumber, radish, and fennel with a light vinaigrette dressing. Keeper recipe.” — a cook, 5.0★
