This is a great recipe, for those who feel it's bland try some fresh garlic, ginger, pepper or sriracha sauce....why not add or substitute some shrimp, chicken...maybe some chicken that you fry in shredded coconut, some .

My favorite recipe on this site!! Even the non vegetarians in my house love this dish aswell. I leave out the eggs and add bean sprouts and water chestnuts. I also added garlic and ginger to the sesame seed oil for the tofu to fry in.

We added ginger and garlic which helped a lot. We also used a lot more soy sauce. It was still pretty bland. It's a recipe worth tinkering with though. I'd used pineapple chunks instead of crushed, throw in some water chestnuts for more texture (otherwise it's pretty mushy), and marinade the tofu. It could work with a sweet & sour sauce.

We did not like this recipe. We tried adding to this and it still did not really turn out.

I cooked the rice in the rice cooker with the juice and it turned out quite sweet. I've added additional crushed cashew nuts, parsley as toppings. Will try it with normal rice and fresh pineapple next time.

Folks, you should really review the base recipe, not the recipe after you've made lots of tasty modifications to it. ;-) The base recipe is very bland, but it's perfect to get started with - adding fresh garlic and ginger is a must. I'd also recommend adding a splash or two of rice vinegar.

I thought this was really good. I added garlic and ginger as some other reviewers suggested and the flavor wasn't bland at all. I also added baby corn and I used whole grain rice instead of white, which I thought went really well.

Well, this was rather bland but I took advice from others and added water chestnuts and extra soy sauce as well as some garlic and ginger. I might try it again.
