This was delicious and I will definetely make it again. I coated the tofu first in flour and deep fried them to make them crispy. I did not add the mushrooms or water chestnuts but added more oyster sauce to the snow peas, topped the dish with the fried tofu and my family loved it!

Way to plain, felt like eating cardboard. My family didn't mind it though. I accidently used edame beans (instead of sugar snap peas) and i didn't know the outsides weren't edible, so i had to go through every pod and take out the beans!!! Ugh this recipe only shouold be used on extremaly-plain pallets!!

for about 4 pieces of tofu, I sliced it up and fried it with olive oil, set it aside and fried up a very small amount of ground pork and sliced onions then mixed it together with 1 tblsp of oyster sauce with about 2 tblsp of water. It was very tasty.

i made this and it came out pretty tasty. i did not add the water chestnuts but i did use double the oyster sauce and instead of water, i used the water from the reconstituted shitake mushrooms for a bit more flavor.

I used this recipe as a starting point for my stir fry of the night. I liked braising it as suggested though I used a nonstick pan and very little oil. For my veggies, all I had were mushrooms and carrots. I also sauteed garlic with them. For the sauce, I didn't use as much water, added a little soy sauce, and added crushed red pepper flakes that soaked while I did other things. When I added the sauce, I also added a handful of cooked rice noodles and heated everything up together. Turned out great but hardly I followed the recipe!

I wasn't too impress and wouldn't rush to make it again. I have to agree it does does better overnight, but still, not top of my favorite list.

Couldn't wait to try this dish, it sounded just delicious, but after making it, I found that it was a bit too bland for my liking (and I even added extra oyster sauce - double). I kept it, however, and the next day it tasted much, much better. I think I might make this again, but I would definitely add more vegetables and add more sauce or wait a couple of hours before eating it. But overall, not bad.

Good idea, but bland. I didn't use sesame oil (didn't have it in the house...) but the recipe lacks flavor of any kind. I added garlic and red pepper to give it some taste. I also put in a lot more vegetables- I put in not only snow peas and water chestnuts, but also sliced carrots and broccoli to make a true stir fry. I'll probably make it again, but with lots more flavorings and vegetables. I ate it with coconut rice, and it was a really filling meal.

Not too bad. I fried tofu a bit longer for some extra texture. I added bok choy instead of mushrooms, and the bok choy was my favorite part! :o) I didn't think it tasted very good when I ate it for lunch, but it tasted much better for dinner. I think it needed some time to marinate or something? I had it two days in a row (I'm the only one who will eat vegetarian in the house) so it had to have been pretty good. :o)

Fantastic recipe. My mistake was using too small of a pan...maybe it's time to invest in a wok. This was wonderful at a Chinese-themed party served with jasmine rice.

I was disappointed with this recipe - to me the flavor was rather flat. Also, I chose to slice the mushrooms.

My family and I loved it! The flavors in this dish are scrumptious. My teenaged daughter helped to make dinner. Because the directions were well written, she was able to do a great job in making this dish! To make it was very easy and fast! I made it as a main dish to Asian Coconut Rice ( http://sidedish.allrecipes.com/AZ/sinCcntRic.asp ) The two flavors go extremely well together. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

It's great! I used a bit of onion and a lot of brocolli instead of the veggies recommended -and everything still worked out brilliantly. note: use a nonstick pan. first attempt to braise tofu in an non- non-stick was less successful.

I like the sauce in this. I do think it is better when previously frozen tofu is used. Gives it that chewy texture. I'll make this again.
