This was SO salty!! Each time I ate a piece of tofu, I had to eat 3 huge spoonfuls of rice to drown out the saltiness! All I tasted was the soy sauce, nothin else. I will not be making this again..

I really love this recipe. Especially great on top of white rice. I originally sent in a 5 star review on this recipe, using Balsamic Vinegar since I couldn't find Chinese Black Vinegar. Now, thanks to my bestfriend, who sent me a bottle of Chinese Black Vinegar over the holidays, I find that the Chinese Black Vinegar made a great diffence in appearance and in taste. I would make this recipe again and again using the Chinese Black Vinegar.

I did not care for this. The tofu didn't fry up like I had hoped nor did it brown at all. The sauce was too salty ( despite my using light soy sauce) and I would not make this again.

This reminds me of what my mom used to make me when I was younger (only better, sorry mom!) Reduce the soy sauce a tad just to cut down on the saltiness. You can also use firm tofu..just be sure to drain it ahead of time.

It wasn't bad, but it was too salty for me. Next time, I'd decrease the soy sauce and increase the sugar.

This dish was really delicious. Will serve again. As suggested, I did brown my tofu first. I also used the liquid ingredients to make fried rice.

this was pretty good. however, i would recommend cooking the tofu first, and then adding the onion - it gets burned by the time the tofu is done.

I've tried to cook tofu so many ways, but can never get restaurant quality tasting tofu dishes. THIS dish is the BEST I've ever had!!! I couldn't find the Chinese black vinegar, but found black bean sauce as others had suggested which was excellent with this dish. I also had trouble getting the tofu to 'brown' even after cooking it for over 20 minutes. I finally gave up and left it soft and white, but it was still delicious. THANKS SO MUCH!!! Will make this often!

From the first time cooking it, it's always been a hit. And to date, I've cooked it just about twice a month! Thank you!

I'm not really experienced at cooking or at buying ingredients so I never ended up finding sesame oil or chinese black vinegar. What I did find is black bean sauce so I added that in. It took alot longer than 10 minutes for my tofu to brown, I was starting to get worried. But eventually it did, anyway the end result seemed way too salty. I don't know if its my beginner skills and me taking 'seasoning' too far or because I used 1/3 of dark soy sauce instead of normal stuff. Anyway (this may sound a little strange) when I lick the sauce it's nice, but then when I chew and shallow the tofu, it really is too salty for me. I think I shall make some rice tomorrow and hopefully the sauce will immerse into that and become weaker (less salty). Otherwise, the green onions and garlic smelt so yummy! Also the tofu when it started browning looked really yum too. I think my results was probably influenced more on my tastebuds and skills than the recipe. I may try this again in the future with a few adjustments (e.g. less salt and less soy sauce)
