recipe reviews for:

Tofu Peanut Stir-Fry

“This is absolutely the best way to eat tofu, especially for first timers. The tofu has a slightly crunchy exterior while the inside is nice and soft. I used to make my stir-fry with chicken or beef, but my husband won't have it any other way than tofu now! And my 2 year old loves it! It is a delicious, easy, quick, and inexpensive meal. Serve with Asian noodles or with steamed rice. Enjoy!”

This was really good & my first time making tofu! I used snow peas, red & yellow capsicum & canned water chestnuts as someone else suggested. Served it with brown rice. Was sooo good! :)

My eight-year old daughter is finding that she's not a big fan of meat, and wanted to try cooking tofu for dinner. I, on the other hand, am a big fan of meat and generally turn my nose up at tofu. I decided to humour her, searching for highly rated tofu dishes on Allrecipes. She honed in on this recipe. It was simply amazing. My whole family loved the dish, even dad the carnivore (me). We prepared this with fresh vegetables: red pepper, snow peas, bok choy, green onion, and water chestnuts. My only change on this one would be to either reduce the oil for frying the tofu or to drain it after frying. The remaining oil didn't combine well with the peanut sauce, and left a bit of a soupy separated pool of oil in the bottom of the dish. Thanks for posting, and for changing my opinions on tofu!

I am only giving this four stars because I made several modifications to the recipe. It turned out great! Like some of the other reviews, I simply marinated the tofu in a little soy sauce a touch of peanut sauce instead of the egg and cornstarch. I also added a bit of thinly cut sliced beef and extra small shrimp in while I was sauteeing the tofu. Lastly, I added some canned pineapple chunks as a bit of a sweet garnish

This was soooo delicious! I kept eating the vegetables even though I was full because this tasted so good. Used Thai Peanut Sauce recipe from the website as someone suggested. Next time, I may try panko bread crumbs instead of cornstarch.

Excellent recipe! I used the 'best peanut sauce recipe' on this site, and made a few modifications: flour instead of corn starch when frying the tofu, and for the veggies, I started sauteeing a tablespoon each of chopped ginger and garlic, then added a tablespoon of soy sauce and a tablespoon of the peanut sauce. Gave a great flavor to the veggies that worked nicely with the tofu. Thanks!

I looooove this recipe. I started looking for tofu recipes when my father-in-law who is a vegan, came to visit. It was made specifically for him, but after tasting this, the entire family wanted it.This was my third attempt at a tofu recipe and this is just absolutely delicious. My hardcore husband who does nothing but beef, gave this a 5 star rating so that should tell you.
