Vietnamese Tofu-Noodle Lettuce Wraps

Soppy Mess This was an awful recipe. Very watery, and not flavorful. I added my own sauce and it still tasted like cardboard. Pros: None Cons: Thin Sauce, no flavor

Excellent, easy, and versatile I have made this many times both for my family as well as to share at gatherings. It got rave reviews. At the gatherings, I was asked for the recipe. I did leave out the lettuce once and chopped everything up fine, then rolled in rice paper to make spring rolls. Wow. This is how I prepare it now. I do make my own Chinese 5 spice seasoned baked tofu instead of store bought.

I made this as written and was disappointed. Perhaps if I had heeded other reviewers' suggestions to use less water and/or add some hoisin it would have been better. As it was, I found the dressing to be very thin, and other than a little heat from the red pepper flakes it didn't seem to have much flavor at all. I also found the mixture to be chewier than I was expecting, perhaps from the baked tofu. Although I'm sure it was healthy--hence the two stars--overall I just did not enjoy it and will not be keeping this recipe to try again.
