When I first tried this recipe I found the cilantro to be overpowering. Consequently, I've made the recipe a couple of times since without the cilantro, and I absolutely love this salad. The Chilli sauce makes it sweet, the tofu brings a savoury flavour, and yet it is wonderfully light and well balanced.

very very yummy. I love cilantro, so this was a big hit with me. I actually ate it all by myself over the course of a few days.

I'm revising my review (original review below)--I've bumped up the star factor by one because when I tried the recipe before I ate it hot over rice and it was pretty bad. However, the next day I pulled the leftovers out of the fridge where it should have been all along and it was MUCH better than eating the recipe warm/hot. I still probably wouldn't make it again, but I could definitely see someone with a really love of sweet chili sauce really enjoying this. Original review 2 stars: I was so bummed at how this turned out. I loved it (tofu/peanut/soy sauce/garlic mixture) until I added the final sauce. I knew when I was making it that 1/2 a cup of the sweet chili sauce sounded like way too much. I don't know if a 1/4 cup would have worked better. It really just was too sweet for me. I also followed the advice of another reviewer and served it over rice. I liked it that way too.

It's very easy to throw together, but I would suggest halving the sauce for the cucumbers. Too much at the bottom of your bowl. The tofu/peanut mix would be great on anything--5 stars to that!

This salad was okay. Not the greatest, but I may make it again some time. What I DID love was the first half of the recipe (ginger, garlic, peanuts and tofu) served hot over rice. I enjoyed that more than finishing the recipe and turning it into a cold salad. Try it! I give the "unfinished" recipe 5 stars!

I'm giving this 4 stars as an average score for the whole family. My husband and one son absolutely loved this one and proclaimed it a 5 star recipe. My other son and I would probably give it 3 stars, mainly because we felt the cilantro really overpowered the entire salad. I really liked the tofu cooked this way and would probably double that the next time around. Also I'd add the peanuts at the last minute so that they would still be crunchy. If you love the flavor of cilantro you would definitely love this salad!

We chopped the peanuts and didn't use cucumbers (since my husband doesn't like them). We mixed it all together and put it over lettuce. My 16 month old liked it too. It was even good the day after (but it got too spicy for my son that day). Yum.

My boyfriend's reaction after trying this for the first time was "why don't we eat this every night?!" I was really pleased to find such a yummy, simple Vietnamese recipe with easy-to-find ingredients. And so good for you!

This was a very refreshing salad. I used lemon juice instead of lime since it was all I had on hand. I also added 1 diced tomato for some color.
