Spicy Pork and Vegetable Tofu

Great!

This made four large servings without adding rice. Couldn't find fresh cayenne pepper so used serrano. I think next time, I'd go with extra firm tofu (at least of the brand I used), as it fell apart. Husband would have preferred rice or a noodle with this. Even with giving the squash a good rinse, it was a little salty for our tastes, so next time I'll probably use a different veggie and save the salt cured squash for another dish (nice trick though). All in all, a very good week night meal that ticks the buttons for easy, healthy, and not too expensive.

Really quick, easy and delicious! Thanks Chef John! I accidentally forgot the peppers, but it still had a nice kick to it (and I added a bit of cayenne powder too). Also, make sure to give the zucchini a REALLY good rinse. I just gave it a quick rinse and it was definitely a tad salty

Good but soooo salty. I doubled the sauce because I wanted to have it over rice but it was too much. Maybe next time I will do just 50% more. Also I liked the texture of the zucchini from the salting technique but it was much too salty even after a thorough rinsing. I think it will be much improved next time without all the salt.

Very good! Actually better after the tofu has sat overnight to absorb all the flavors.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my original review—I did not salt the zucchini! I cooked the meat, then transferred it to another pot and used the grease to cook my veggies (I added bok choy, celery, broccoli, and bell pepper). I drained them of excess moisture after cooking, then added them to the meat and proceeded with the recipe as written. The additional salt would have been too much for my taste. I will make this again, but I’ve given three stars because of the changes needed, and the fact that the tofu (even extra firm) disintegrated within a few stirs.

This is great!!! I've made it twice and it was perfect each time.. I couldn't find cayenne peppers so used red jalapeños. But you can play with the heat with various spices, like the Korean hot sauce. It has a sweetness to it, too. (I used Sambal Oelec, no calories. I live alone so made it for myself the first time (and couldn't keep my face out of it). Today I made a double batch for my niece and family. And of course, I tasted it. Terrific. They're going to love me even more after tomorrow.
