This was really quite good! I've never cooked with tofu before, and I was quite pleased with the results of my first attempt. The recipe was easy to follow, and the ingredients were straightforward. Thanks!

This was quite good. I didn't have the exact ingredients on hand, called they varied by color, but it came out great. It was a bit too spicy for my mother, but I liked it and will definately use this recipe again.

This is delicious!! I make a little extra sauce, but that's mainly because we like our stirfry with a lot of sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!

Really spicy and delicious. I pressed the tofu while I was chopping the veggies so it was more firm for frying. Used a jalapeno instead of the chile. Served it with brown rice.

this is a standard in our house now. I do drain it over night as I think that it turns out crispier. It is very spicy so I vary the amount of pepper depending on our mood. Leftovers if any are awesome

I pressed my tofu overnight in the fridge and fried it while it was cold. This is the first time I've made tofu where it tasted authentic to what I get at a chinese restaurant. I will certainly make this again! And don't omit anything - you need the garlic and soy sauce!!!

This was lovely -- very much like something you might get in a restaurant. I have been looking for a recipe like this for tofu for quite some time. We like the way the tofu gets brown and sealed on the outside yet stays moist and soft on the inside. The peppers and garlic really bring a nice flavor to the sauce.

I was so disappointed. There's nothing worse then spending an hour on something to have it turn out lousy, and I followed the recipe exactly. I didn't like it, the vinegar was way to obvious in it, and it didn't come close to the yummy dish you would get at a restaurant.

This is a very nice recipe. Next time I make it I plan to chop the garlic so I don't have to fish it out later. The soy sauce smelled very strong, but did not have a strong taste in the finished dish. My only problem with this recipe is that I can't seem to brown tofu successfully.

This is fabulous! I used the 12oz package of tofu, and used olive oil instead of peanut oil. Didn't use nearly as much oil as called for. Used orange bell pepper instead of green, and probably didn't use as much onion and pepper as was called for. But I found this recipe to be delightful, and probably ate three out of the four servings myself! Thankfully, it seems to be (the way I made it)(relatively)low in fat, except for the frying part of it. Thanks for a great recipe!

I really liked this recipe. I changed it slightly using green bell pepper instead of red and added sliced carrots to the mix. Also, instead of the chile pepper I used chile pepper miso paste to give it a little extra kick. The recipe does not mention how to prepare the tofu but since I've cooked with it before I drained it first then froze it to give it more texture then drained it again before cubing. I would definitely make this again. The sweetness of the red onions plays great with the tang of the chili pepper flakes.

This isn't bad....I cut back the garlic thinking it might be overkill but now I wish I hadn't....probably needed it. Although I suspect this will taste better the next day once the flavors have melded a bit. I'm not a big fan of onions so I cut those out and added mushrooms, chopped carrots, and peapod to it. It is super spicy, though (which I loved!), so if you're not into spicy foods, cut back on the chile and/or crushed pepper.
