Great flavor, not spicy. Could substitute asparagus and I think it might be a five star!

Very tasty recipe. I prepared this dish for my mom and she is not a tofu eater at all and was looking at me rather crazy when I was cooking it. However, she ended up eating a full plate (she still never admitted that she really liked it - but her plate was empty!) I definitely will be making this again!

So easy and versatile! The sauce is delicious. I've always wondered how to cook up tofu like that - awesome! (I freeze my tofu first, too - it makes it easier to get the liquid out and helps the texture.) I substituted mushrooms and green peppers for the green beans, and canned fire roasted tomatoes (Muir Glen) for the fresh ones. I also did my typical swapping out of the broth for a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Makes it vegan and so good!

turned out pretty good. We used sake, instead of white wine (is that sacrilege when the recipe is Vietnamese?), definitely left the tomatoes out until the end, no cornstarch, and we julienned the onions for texture. Didn't try it, but thought it would have gone really well with soba noodles

Pretty good recipe! I would have given 5 stars if the original recipe had more spice to it, so we fried the tofu in some curry to spice it up a bit. We also added carrots and tri-colored green beans. We used chardonnay in our sauce as well, and put the dish over rice. Give it a try!

We LOVED this recipe - even my picky boyfriend liked it. I didn't have cornstarch or bamboo - so I substituted flour and mushrooms respectively. I would definitely recommend rice, since the sauce is so good. We dirtied a lot of pans, but it was worth it.

This is a very tasty dish. I did make some changes. i did not coat the tofu in cornstarch and deep fry it. I used just enough oil to brown the sides to cut down on the fat. I also added some carrots and they were a nice touch. The only other thing I will change next time is to add the tofu to the sauce sooner so that the sauce will soak into the tofu more. I might also add baby corn because my husband and I like it.

I thought this was great. The sauce has a really bright, tangy taste too it. I would agree to wait to put the tomatoes in until last. My husband would only give it a four, but he doesn't like stir-fry in general. he said that for stir-fry, it was pretty good.

A surprisingly hearty recipe that would be good for a cold winter night as it is so easy and satisfying! I added a little garlic and chili pepper for an extra kick, and omitted the cornstarch, letting the tofu simmer in the sauce. The only other suggestion I have would be to put off adding the tomatoes until the last minute or they turn to mush. This makes great leftovers too. I'll be making this one again.
