    We really liked the tofu prepared this way. I ended up cooking mine a bit longer. I also added some cayenne- perfect mix od spicy and sweet. We'll definitely be making this again. - 12/6/12

    Not impressed at all; there wasn't enough when it was divided up by three. Would not make again. - 11/21/12

    So the nutritional amounts appear to be for the entire recipe which serves 2 to 4. Fats include MUFAS. These are some of my favourite ingredients so I'll try it and report back! - 10/21/12

    I couldn't afford any pecans that I was able to find, so I left them out. I also left out cilantro. I added black pepper. I love the garlicy-sweetness of this dish! I have an insane love of brussels sprouts and tofu, so hard to go wrong :-) - 9/20/12

    Because I want my family to eat tofu and because this prepares so quickly, I would have rated it at 3. However, my daughter refused to eat any of it and my husband gave it a 1. He would not be more specific as to why other than the overall flavor. We're not vegetarians which explains this critique - 1/27/12

    I would suggest either adding the garlic at the beginning with the oil and then adding the tofu to reduce the "spice" of the raw garlic and to add extra flavor to the tofu. Or, if you had extra time, roast the garlic, then add when the recipe tells you to. - 7/9/11

    This recipe was delicious. I didn't have any pecans, so I substituted pine nuts. I adapted the amounts to make just one serving, but the idea was still the same and it made a great vegetarian lunch! Thanks for posting. - 1/21/11

    This was just great. I liked it from the first bite and it just kept getting better. I didn't have the brussel sprouts on hand so I used snap peas instead and served over brown rice (which let me spread if over 5 servings and still be very filling). Even my 8 year old son asked for seconds. - 2/11/09

    This was pretty good - I especially liked the caramelized tofu. Normally, I brown tofu and just throw on some bottled sauces but this was a much fresher and tastier way of going about flavoring the tofu. I will try it next time with different greens but this is a great way to eat brussel sprouts. - 9/16/08

    I didn't have brussel sprouts. So I made a huge salad, put the cilantro in it & topped with the camelized tofu. Then added balsamic/vinaigrette dressing which offset the sweetness wonderfully. - 5/8/08
