This was one of the quickest dishes in the magazine!  I love tofu...strange but I also love plain rice cakes which is more curious I think. My husband is just so so with tofu. I liked it better than him, he just thought it was okay. He quite liked the green onions in the dish but we both thought the cornstarch was a little much. I did think it could use a bit more something so next time I might add a little chinese or thai chili sauce to spice things up (like a ma po tofu) and maybe another veggie like peppers or something. I'll probably reduce the sauce instead of adding cornstarch.  Other reviewers had mentioned that it was too sweet but I quite liked the level of sweetness.  It balanced the rice wine quite nicely.

I think I like it just because I grew up with it in my Chinese food so it's actually something I'll crave...funny how people are partial to things just because it reminds them of home.

I have found so many good recipes...ones that I normally would not have tried...so I have decided that I may do this with the next issue! Posted: 9:04 pm on February 23rd
