This recipe is perfect for those who are afraid to try tofu.... it is outstanding! We used half of the tofu and even less rice called for to reduce the size of the serving however we kept the veggies and the sauce at the same quantity. We also used a "spicy" chili sauce. The flavour was infused into the tofu quite well. We will for sure be keeping this recipe for repeat performances!
