Oh man is this one ever good. So simple!!!! I always buy my tofu in water bins at an Asian market so the tofu tastes smooth and creamy. I ate this whole recipe by myself for lunch. I will make again and again and adding extra veggies is super easy. UPDATE: I made a big batch of this for my lunch. The next day the sauce made the tofu taste a little strong and bitter. It was still good but just too strong. I would recomend eating it right away or mixing the salad together and throwing the sauce on when you eat it.
Nice taste, although rather saucy. I didn't have the cilantro, so I used parsley flakes. I also baked the tofu pieces for 10 min ea on opposite sides of the tofu. This makes it less squishy and more the consistency of hard-fried eggs. (I originally didn't like tofu due to the consistency.)
The sauce was absolutely delicious - I mixed it with greens so it was a nice salad and it was a good amount of sauce for that
I couldn't imagine raw albeit pressed tofu cubes so I stir-fried them in a small amount of sesame oil. I also substituted a can of drained mandarin organ segments for the tomatoes. I added a bag of mixed greens and tossed it all together. Yum!
I just made this for a potluck and everyone was asking for the recipe. I did brown the tofu in a little oil to firm it up. I also minced jalapeno and added it. Next time I may try some other veggies since as other reviewers said there's extra sauce.
delicious! i used green onion instead of red to my taste and threw in some rough grated carrot. thought bean sprouts would've been good too am planning on trying that next time. i did not find it to be even a bit too saucy; it all absorbed into the tofu -- which i recommend freezing i never have to press it afterwards and it has the best texture even uncooked!
I LOVED this recipe and so did my "meat and potato" husband. Basically used the recipe as a base and added mixed veggies such as peppers, red, yellow or/green, broccoli, shredded carrots, snap peas, fresh sliced basil, and put tomato at the end of stir so it doesn't get mushy. In addition to the spices in the recipe, I used lemon pepper, little bit of chili powder or curry powder, white wine (to replace the mirin). I put this with rice and was a hit! I loved this so much that this is my first recipe post I am submitting!! This is was definitely added to my recipe box!
We use just shoyu and sesame oil for the dressing. I leave out the onion and cilantro, and add in some cucumber. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and, simple and delicious dinner that my kids love!
Excellent salad dressing. I also add some greens (spring mix works great) and leave out the red onion.
I enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately my husband voted it "not a repeat." He discovered that he's not crazy about tofu that is not crispy on the outside. We both really liked the dressing though.
