Tofu with Peanut-Ginger Sauce

I read and try a lot of recipes online and rarely do they live up to expectations, but this one did. It was fantastic. I did add in some diced red peppers and sliced mushrooms and extra garlic, but otherwise followed the recipe. I served mine with cauliflower mock rice and noodles for the kids. Oh, one tip, the quality of the soy sauce will likely make a big difference with the flavor of the dish, so opt for a higher quality soy sauce.

Worth a shot. Not a big fan of tofu (I ate this as part of a diet), and this dish didn't change my mind. Sauce is interesting -- peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic.

Absolutely delicious dish! So easy to prepare and the ingredients are cheap. I would recommend having the unchanged recipe with brown rice vermacilli as it does not dilute the delicate flavours.

I used white vinegar instead of rice vinegar and skipped spinach. Hands down this was the best tofu dish I have ever had! Such a delightful flavour! Everyone at my place loved it. Will definitely be making it again :)

Normally this would be some of my favorite flavors but I found this blah. I put in the exact measurements for the sauce and I ended up putting in Sriracha sauce and more rice vinegar and soy sauce. I used sugar and salt free peanut butter as that was what I had so maybe that contributed. Another reviewer said the peanut butter obliterated the ginger and garlic flavor and I kind of agree. Maybe it needs more garlic and ginger?

Delicious Healthy Dinner That Doesn't Taste Low-CalorieI absolutely loved this, and the sauce was so easy to prepare (my 2.5-year-old helped stir it), particularly if you can use cheats like frozen ginger and garlic purees. It didn't taste low-calorie, and it filled me up. I used basmati rice as this was all we had in, and it worked well with it. My little boy found it a bit too spicy, so I cooled his down with 2teaspoons of low fat Greek yoghurt. It cooled it down in both senses of the word, and made me realise this would make a really nice cold pasta-salad-style dish if you have leftovers the next day if you do this. If you aren't vegetarian, you could substitute in some meat instead of the tofu. The sauce would work well to make chicken satay skewers too. Pros: Easy to prepare, tasty, Low-CalorieCons: My family aren't convinced by tofu's texture

Quick, easy, and deliciousThe saucer came together in the time it took to sautee the tofu. I just dumped everything in the small bowl of the kitchenaid and ran it for a minute or so. I served the tofu over shredded napa cabbage and spooned on the sauce. Pros: quick, easy, delicious

Bland sauce, needed more I would definitely add more ginger and either some hot peppers or cayenne, possibly a little lemon juice next time to add some flavor...it just seemed too bland for my taste. Pros: could be good with some tweaking Cons: bland

Agreed on the versitality of this recipe!! EASY and Delicious first time meal!! Great quick one dish wonder! I replaced the tofu with cut chicken breast. I would omit the mushrooms next time, but that is personal preference.

A versatile recipe This was an easy and tasty weekday dinner. I don't like the tofu that's available locally so I swapped in some quartered fingerling potatoes and bok choi for the spinach; I think tempeh would also stand in nicely for the tofu.

awesome!!! Really enjoyed this dish, I was afraid at first that there wouldn't be enough sauce but definitely was not the problem! I omitted the spinach because I'm not a fan and added chicken breast cut up into small pieces and yellow onion sliced which was amazing. Also added 2 habenero peppers since my husband and I love spicy foods, I would imagine it's not very spicy on it's own. I followed someone elses recommendation and added more ginger (about a tsp) and TONS more garlic as I love garlic too and it turned out perfect! Served over brown rice, this meal was wonderful!

This was delish! The peanut sauce is very tasty and is perfect with the tofu. It's quick and easy. I didn't have any scallions when I cooked it, but it was fine without it. Along with the spinach, I added onions and it was great. The recipe was also fine with ginger powder. The only thing that people may want is a sauce that's less thick in consistency, in which case you could add more of the ingredients of the sauce? I thought it was just fine though. It was my first time making it and I want to make it again!

Made this with leftover pork loin and served it over whole grain couscous.The sauce is awesome, I wish for a collection of sauce recipes like this one.

I am not a fan of Tofu but I would definitely subsitute chicken breasts instead. So Good with this recipe and yes add more ginger and garlic to it.

My entire family, including small children, just gobbled this up! I used Chard as that was what I had on hand from our CSA. I added chopped peanuts for crunch. The mild flavor of the sauce appealed to the kids. The asked me to make it again already!

LOVE this recipe! I make it with extra firm tofu and add an extra tsp of ginger and one more garlic clove to give the sauce a little extra kick. The sauce is very versatile, I just add tofu and whatever veggies I have on hand. I also use about half the amount of spinach recommended. So good!!

I made this recipe with medium firm tofu since that's what i had on hand and replaced the spinach with finely shredded savoy cabbage because i had some in the fridge. It turned out delicious. I drizzled a little extra soy sauce when serving. Awesome flavor and very quick.
