This was yummy though not outstanding - I appreciated that the sauce was nice and flavorful without being thick or heavy like takeout Chinese. However, I would have added more mushrooms, and perhaps a veggie like broccoli or snow peas into the mix, since the tofu was a little dominant!

This is an important dish to serve for Chinese New Year. Many parents encourage their children to eat more of it so they won't fight as much, and thus start the new year in harmony.
