Love it. Easy to make and a great companion to many Asian sauces. I used the Hoisin-Peanut Sauce in my recipe "Recipe #424897". Made for ZWT #6 and I'm a Quisine Queen!!

This was okay. Nothing special, in my opinion, as far as tofu recipes go: There are more exciting things to do with it.

wow...love it. I took the fried tofu cubes, added some steamfresh broccoli, poured on some bottled peanut sauce, mixed it together...yummy dinner in like 15 minutes :-) Thanks

This was great! I added crushed peppers to the dry marinade. The tofu could have been served on its own, but I put it on a plate with blanched broccoli and served it with the peanut butter sauce from #119671 as a dip. It was well received as an appetizer at a friend's New Year's Eve party. I recommend squeezing the tofu out using the instructions from recipe #81284. Thanks a lot for this one!
